Need assistance comparing Asus and Lenovo products.
After reviewing 200 opinions and conducting thorough research, I want to understand what other users think about these two mid-to-high range laptops. The first one is the Asus Rog Strix Ryzen 6800H with 16GB DDR5 and 3060 with 140W TDP: https://estore.asus.com/es/90nr0845-m001...hq012.html. The second is the Lenovo Legion 5 2021 with a Ryzen 5800H, 16GB DDR4, and RTX 3070 at 130W: https://www.pccomponentes.com/lenovo-leg...x-3070-156. I’m trying to find out which one is the best overall and most future-proof for gaming. I bought both at the same price and had to return one. Some key points about each:
The Asus model has a 3060 with 140W but never reaches that exact figure... (https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthre...22...ge-problem) and comes with a 1440p monitor.
The Lenovo model sometimes includes "bad RAM" (R1x16, only 4 chips per stick), which can impact system performance but can be upgraded for around 60-80 dollars without affecting the warranty. Both screens are good, and battery life isn’t a priority for me. Storage needs aren’t important—512GB is sufficient, and I don’t require a webcam or microphone.
I think the Lenovo Legion might be the better choice due to its RTX 3070 at 130W... at 1080p... but it’s older. What are your thoughts? Please help the community, thank you very much.
In the end, the Asus offers greater advancement, with its construction quality significantly better than that of Lenovo
Only for this level of build quality will you choose the Asus?
Are you certain about that? The build quality of the Lenovo seems quite strong.
Thanks
If forced to choose, I'd say the Asus stands out with its superior build quality. The Lenovo Legion 5 is still solid, and you probably won't have any issues. I appreciate the Zen 3 chip in the Asus and the 3070 in the Lenovo. The only minor concern was the automatic graphics switching on the Lenovo. It's unclear if this has been resolved in newer models, but it wasn't the most dependable feature.
Asus has consistently impressed with their Zen 3 models and reliable build quality, similar to what Lenovo offers. However, they often use lower-cost materials which can lead to failure after just a few drops. Asus remains a trustworthy choice for years, though it may show scratches or scuffs. Generally, they can withstand hundreds of impacts.
Typing this on a Lenovo right now so nothing against them but I would expect the Asus to have the slightly better chassis. It's difficult to find in depth reviews on the latest model, but if it's the same chassis as last couple of years then the Asus is better. With that being said though, rtings gave it 8 out of 10 for build quality.
