The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 is only fair.
The MSI Titan GT77 is considered best for gaming and 3D because it features a significantly more powerful GPU and a higher screen refresh rate compared to the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14, enabling smoother visuals and better performance in intensive gaming and 3D applications. The Lenovo's lower-tier GPU and screen refresh rate still provide a good gaming and 3D experience but won't perform as well as the MSI in demanding scenarios.

The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for engineering and design, while the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 is good.
The MSI Titan GT77 surpasses the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 in critical areas for engineering and design, offering a more powerful CPU, vastly more RAM, and a superior GPU, along with a higher quality screen; however, it sacrifices portability due to its larger size and weight. On the other hand, the Slim Pro offers a balance of performance suitable for many design tasks and is more portable, but its screen, while high-quality, doesn't match the Titan's, and its computing power can't compete with the Titan's significantly better specs for extremely demanding engineering software..

"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 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."
