If high performance and gaming are important for you, the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 with its dedicated graphics is the better choice, despite being more expensive. It also has a higher quality display, which might be relevant for creative work. However, if portability and value are priorities, the MSI Prestige 14 is lighter and offers good performance for general use and productivity at a lower price point. Keep in mind, the Prestige's integrated graphics won't handle intensive 3D tasks as well. Battery life will also differ significantly between the two, affecting mobility and usage time away from power sources. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 to be very good for general use, while the MSI Prestige 14 is good.
The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 offers stronger performance with its AMD Ryzen CPU and dedicated Nvidia graphics suitable for more demanding tasks, paired with a higher-resolution, touch-enabled display, while also providing greater battery capacity for longer usage away from power sources, all of which contribute to its excellence for general use. In contrast, the MSI Prestige 14, while also good for general use, brings the advantage of greater portability with its lighter build, but compromises with a lower capacity battery, integrated graphics, and a lower-resolution, non-touch screen.

The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 and MSI Prestige 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 outshines the MSI Prestige 14 in gaming and 3D applications because it is equipped with a more powerful Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU and offers a higher screen refresh rate of 90Hz, enhancing visuals in fast-paced scenes. The MSI Prestige 14, while adequate for less demanding games and 3D tasks, has the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate, which may not deliver as smooth an experience.

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."

"The MSI Prestige 14” is excellent for productivity and business use cases, but it is not ideal for creators or visual content editors. The Prestige was able to power through days of email, spreadsheets, and text documents without breaking a sweat and was a joy to use. The additional ports were a breath of fresh air, as most laptops seem to be moving towards just Thunderbolt ports. The security options made signing in effortless, with two quick, more secure, and faster options than even the most complex alphanumeric passcode."
