The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a good choice if you're looking for a balance between price and performance. It has decent specs for general use and lighter gaming or engineering tasks, and it's also more portable, which is great if you need to move around a lot. On the other hand, the MSI Titan GT77 is much more powerful, suitable for intensive 3D, machine learning, gaming, and engineering workloads; however, it's more expensive and has a bulkier design, which makes it less convenient to carry around. The battery life will also generally be better on less powerful, and therefore more efficient, laptops like the Lenovo compared to high-performance models like the MSI. Give Feedback

The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7, with an RTX 3060 GPU and a refresh rate of 165 Hz, offers solid gaming and 3D performance for its class, but the MSI Titan GT77 strongly outperforms it with a more powerful RTX 4080 GPU and a Mini LED screen, albeit with a slightly lower refresh rate of 144 Hz. While both have quality displays, the Titan's higher resolution and superior screen quality enhance visual experiences, matched with a significantly stronger GPU that’s better suited for the most demanding tasks and future-proof gaming.

The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for engineering and design, while the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7, with an AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, offers a balance of power suitable for engineering and design, paired with a more portable design compared to the bulkier MSI Titan GT77, which boasts a superior Intel i9 CPU and Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU for top-tier performance in demanding tasks, at the expense of portability and with a larger, higher-resolution screen that benefits detail-oriented work where screen quality is crucial. While both laptops have qualities that appeal to engineers and designers, the MSI Titan GT77's significantly higher CPU and GPU capabilities, along with a superior screen, make it the better choice for intensive engineering and design work despite being less portable and generating more operating noise.

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."

"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
