If budget is a top concern and you mainly engage in basic tasks like web browsing, word processing, and video streaming, the Packard Bell Cloudbook could be a fitting choice due to its likely lower price. However, if you require a laptop for more demanding activities such as gaming, video editing, or 3D modeling, the higher-priced Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers superior performance for those tasks. Keep in mind that the Lenovo will also generally have a better build quality, display, and graphics capabilities, but it may be heavier and have a shorter battery life than the Cloudbook, which could affect portability.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7's higher-quality CPU and RAM enhance its overall performance for various tasks, and its superior screen quality provides a better viewing experience, while being designed for portability with a longer battery life. In contrast, the Packard Bell Cloudbook struggles with demanding applications due to less powerful components and has a lower-quality screen, which together with reduced battery life makes it less suitable for extended or intensive general use.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for engineering and design, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" excels in engineering and design use due to its high-end CPU, ample RAM, powerful GPU, and high-quality screen, which are crucial for demanding tasks, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" falls short in these areas, making it unsuitable for such intensive applications. Furthermore, the Lenovo offers better keyboard and speaker quality, and manages operating noise well, although it is less portable than the slimmer and lighter Packard Bell, which might appeal to those prioritizing easy carrying over performance.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" likely offers a high-resolution display with good brightness and an IPS panel, which provides clear and sharp images for general tasks, along with wide color gamut coverage that benefits engineering and design work by ensuring color accuracy. However, its lower refresh rate may not be as well-suited for 3D applications and gaming, where smooth motion is crucial. In contrast, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" may have a lower resolution, dimmer screen, limited color range, and a basic panel type that doesn't excel at any particular task, nor does it meet the higher refresh rate desired for gaming and 3D work.

Benjamin Herzig | November 2022
"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."
