The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is a more advanced and powerful laptop than the Packard Bell Cloudbook, reflected in its higher price. It's equipped with a stronger processor and graphics card, providing excellent performance for gaming, 3D work, machine learning, and intensive engineering tasks. However, being heavier and thicker, it's less portable than the Packard Bell Cloudbook. Conversely, the Cloudbook is much more affordable and lighter, making it highly portable, but it has a basic processor and minimal storage, suited mainly for general use like browsing and office applications. You'll need to consider whether performance or price and portability are more important for your needs. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i is good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is equipped with a high-performance CPU, substantial RAM, and an advanced GPU that provide powerful processing for a range of applications, along with a high-quality screen and good heat management, but it has limited portability and a shorter battery life.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i, the display boasts high resolution and brightness, offering sharp and vivid visuals for everyday tasks and precision work in engineering, which often benefits from a wider color gamut, enhancing the accuracy of on-screen colors. However, with a lower refresh rate, fast-paced games and 3D animations may not appear as smooth, impacting the overall gaming experience.
The Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" has a screen that falls short on brightness and resolution, which can lead to a less than ideal viewing experience for general use and dull or imprecise color representation in engineering tasks. It also lacks the high refresh rate needed for fluid motion in gaming and 3D applications, making it less suitable for these intensive visual demands.

PCMag
Brian Westover | August 2023
"The midpriced Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 follows some of our favorite gaming machines, including last year's model and the higher-end Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 tested earlier this year. But pedigree doesn't count for much in the computer world, and gaming laptops require a certain level of power and graphics performance to justify their prices. The Pro 5i Gen 8 just doesn't do that, offering middling CPU and GPU performance rather than the sort of muscle that would make it a great value."
