If battery life and a higher storage capacity are important to you, the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 offers these advantages, along with more robust performance for engineering and graphics-heavy applications due to its AMD Ryzen processor and RTX graphics card. However, it is less portable than the Razer Book 13. On the other hand, the Razer Book 13 is more portable with a higher portability score, and it still provides ample performance for general use with its Intel i7 processor and integrated graphics, but it offers less storage and a lower capacity battery when compared to the Lenovo. Both laptops support touchscreens, have similar screen sizes, and are well suited for general use, with the Lenovo leaning more towards intensive tasks like engineering and 3D work. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 and Razer Book 13 are both good for engineering and design, though the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14, with a more powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU, is better suited for demanding engineering and design tasks which require advanced graphics processing, but it is heavier and has a shorter battery life. The Razer Book 13 offers a high-quality screen and is more portable due to its lower weight and longer battery life, but its Intel i7 CPU and Iris Xe graphics are less capable for intensive GPU tasks, making it better for lighter engineering workloads and with its superior speaker quality and keyboard build, provides a pleasant user experience for everyday productivity.

How the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 and the Razer Book 13 compare to other laptops
"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 Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
