For a balance of performance and portability with a focus on general use and some gaming or engineering tasks, the Lenovo LOQ 15i is a solid choice. It offers a more powerful processor and dedicated Nvidia graphics, which is beneficial for more demanding applications. However, it's larger and heavier, making it less ideal for frequent travelers. Its battery life is also shorter compared to the Samsung. On the other hand, if you prioritize a lightweight, highly portable device with an exceptional screen for everyday tasks and moderate workloads, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is the way to go. Its OLED display with high resolution and touch capability is excellent for media consumption and general productivity. The Samsung also offers better battery life and a more compact design, but it may not handle intensive gaming or engineering software as well as the Lenovo. Additionally, the Samsung's 2-in-1 functionality adds versatility for those who want both a laptop and a tablet experience. Give Feedback

PCMag
Mark Knapp | August 2023
"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
