Considering your needs and the price difference between the Lenovo V15 and the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14", you should carefully weigh the benefits against the cost. The Lenovo V15, while typically more expensive, offers better performance for intensive tasks due to a more powerful AMD Ryzen 5 processor and more RAM. However, the Cloudbook is lighter and thus more portable, which might be a deciding factor if you often carry your laptop around. If your usage is more casual and portability is key, the Cloudbook could be the better option; for performance-intensive tasks, the Lenovo V15 would be preferable despite its higher price.

The Lenovo V15 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for software development, and content creation, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, a laptop with a poor screen means that the display may lack sharpness, vibrancy, or might be difficult to view in brightly lit conditions due to low resolution or brightness, which can strain the eyes over time. In engineering and design, accurate color representation is crucial for the work's fidelity, so screens with poor color gamut coverage can result in less precise color work, affecting the overall quality of the designs. When it comes to gaming and 3D tasks, a screen with a low refresh rate can make fast-paced visuals appear blurry or jittery, diminishing the gaming experience and making it harder to interact with 3D content smoothly.

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
