The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2024) is a powerhouse designed for high-end gaming and intensive tasks like machine learning and 3D rendering, with its top-tier i9 processor and RTX 4080 graphics card, making it slightly bulkier and less portable than the Razer Blade 14. It has a larger screen with a higher refresh rate, which is excellent for fast-paced gaming and detailed engineering work, but at the cost of battery life, which is average. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 14 offers a balance between performance and portability, with a compact design and longer battery life, suitable for general use and gaming on the go. Its AMD Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 3070 Ti graphics provide solid performance, though not as powerful as the Legion Pro 7i's components. The screen, while smaller, still boasts a high resolution and good color accuracy, which is great for general use and some gaming. If you prioritize raw performance and don't mind a heavier, less portable laptop, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is the way to go. However, if you need a balance of performance and portability, with a longer battery life for general use and casual gaming, the Razer Blade 14 would be a better fit. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
