Lenovo Legion 7 vs Lenovo V15

PerfectRec’s General Use Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for general productivity, web browsing, streaming, video calls, and running a wide variety of apps and programs.

The Lenovo Legion 7 is better for gaming and 3D due to its Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, which is substantially more powerful than the integrated Vega 7 graphics in the Lenovo V15, and it also offers a higher screen refresh rate of 165, which is more than double the Lenovo V15's 60. While both models have similar CPU capabilities, the Legion 7 provides a higher quality IPS display with better color accuracy and contrast, which enhances visual gaming and 3D rendering experiences compared to the V15's TN panel.

The Lenovo Legion 7 provides superior engineering and design capabilities due to its more powerful AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, which can handle complex tasks and renderings more efficiently than the Lenovo V15, which has a less powerful AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU and integrated Vega 7 graphics. While the Legion 7 provides a better screen quality, which is crucial for design precision, its higher performance components make it less portable and potentially louder in terms of operating noise compared to the more modest Lenovo V15.

PerfectRec’s Content Creation Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for photo editing, video editing and other content creation tasks.

For general use, the Lenovo Legion 7 likely offers higher resolution, superior panel technology, and better brightness, making images and text crisp and clear, while the Lenovo V15's display may be dimmer with lower resolution, affecting everyday readability and comfort. In engineering and design, the Legion 7's display probably covers a broader color spectrum, which is crucial for precision in color work, something the V15's screen doesn't handle as well, leading to less accurate color representation. When it comes to gaming and 3D tasks, the Legion 7's low refresh rate can lead to less fluid motion, while both laptops might not offer the ideal refresh rates and resolutions desired by gamers or professionals working with 3D graphics.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.
