The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2024) is a powerhouse suitable for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning, thanks to its top-tier Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU and Intel i9-14900HX processor. It has a high-resolution 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is excellent for productivity and multimedia. However, its larger size and weight make it less portable than the Razer Blade 15. The Legion's superior screen brightness, color accuracy, and contrast ratio also make it a standout choice for professionals who require color precision and work in varied lighting conditions.
On the other hand, the Razer Blade 15 offers a balance between performance and portability with its slim design and lower weight. It features an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti and an Intel i7-12800H, which are slightly less powerful than the Legion's components but still deliver excellent performance for most gaming and creative tasks. The Blade 15's 15.6-inch QHD display with a 240Hz refresh rate is ideal for smooth gaming experiences. While it may not match the Legion's raw performance, the Razer Blade 15 is more suitable for users prioritizing a compact form factor without sacrificing too much power.
In summary, if you need the utmost performance for demanding tasks and can handle a bulkier device, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2024) is the way to go. However, if you value portability and still want robust gaming and content creation capabilities, the Razer Blade 15 is the better choice. Give Feedback

How the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2024) and the Razer Blade 15 compare to other laptops
"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 bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
