If you prioritize a larger screen and a higher resolution, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro offers a 14-inch display and higher pixel density, which could be better for tasks like photo editing. The Razer Book 13, though slightly more expensive, has a stronger processor, which might make it more suitable for demanding applications and multitasking. The Razer Book also boasts longer battery life, making it a better option for those who need to work on-the-go without frequent recharging. Both laptops have similar storage and memory, but if portability and battery life are key, the Razer Book 13 is the better option; if screen size and display quality are more important, consider the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro has a better screen than the Razer Book 13 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro's high resolution and brightness provide crisp and vibrant visuals, making reading and streaming a pleasure, whereas the Razer Book 13's slightly inferior brightness and resolution offer less clarity and vividness. In engineering and design where precise color representation is crucial, the Lenovo's wider color gamuts ensure more accurate and consistent colors compared to the Razer Book 13, which may not display colors quite as faithfully. However, for 3D and gaming, both laptops fall short due to their lower refresh rates, which can result in less smooth motion and subpar gaming experiences, regardless of their adequate resolutions and panel types.

Allen Ngo | October 2021
"The main selling point of the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro versus a regular IdeaPad Slim 7 is its faster Core H-series CPU. In reality, the Core i7-11370H is only marginally faster than the U-series Core i7-1165G7 to the point where most users are not likely to notice the benefits. The slight performance uptick comes at the cost of slightly higher power consumption as well meaning owners will have to deal with potentially warmer temperatures or louder fans to compensate. Unless if you happen to be a power user, then the regular non-Pro model will be more than enough. Once you go 90 Hz, you can't go back."

"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
