The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the Razer Book 13 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro is superior for general use due to its robust CPU and abundant RAM which enhance performance, along with a high-quality screen, but it is less portable and has a shorter battery life compared to the Razer Book 13 which offers good portability and longer battery life, but with a less powerful CPU and less RAM, making it less suitable for demanding tasks. Both laptops boast excellent keyboard quality and manage heat and noise well, making them comfortable to use, but the Legion 7i Pro's larger size and weight impact its portability, whereas the Razer Book 13 strikes a balance between performance and ease of carrying.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is excellent for gaming and AI, while the Razer Book 13 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i excels in gaming and 3D applications primarily due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU and a high screen refresh rate of 240Hz, which provide enhanced graphics performance and smoother motion. In contrast, the Razer Book 13 is equipped with a less capable Intel Iris Xe graphics card and a standard screen refresh rate of 60Hz, making it less suitable for those applications.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is excellent for engineering and design, while the Razer Book 13 is good.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i boasts powerful CPU and GPU capabilities paired with ample RAM, making it highly suitable for demanding engineering and design tasks but may be less portable due to its gaming-focused design. In contrast, the Razer Book 13, while providing a high-quality screen and sufficient processing power for many engineering scenarios, prioritizes portability and build quality, which might come at the cost of lower graphical performance compared to the Legion Pro 7i.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen than the Razer Book 13 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i features a display with high resolution and brightness, making it excellent for general use and detailed engineering work due to its strong color accuracy, whereas its lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for gaming and 3D applications that benefit from smoother motion. The Razer Book 13 also boasts a display with solid resolution and brightness suitable for general and engineering tasks, with good color representation, but like the Legion Pro 7i, it falls short for gaming and 3D because of its insufficient refresh rate. However, for users focused on productivity and professional work rather than gaming, both laptops offer displays that excel in those areas.

"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice.

"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."
