Pros and Cons

Lenovo Legion Slim 7i

Strengths

This laptop has everything I could want in a laptop
The I9 13900H RTX 4070 provides great performance and battery life
Quiet mode with iGPU mode for great battery life
Color accurate and very bright display (almost 500 nits of screen brightness)
SD card reader, two USB type-c ports, a headphone jack, power adapter, three USB type A's, and an HDMI port
Fantastic aluminum chassis, assembled very well
Slim design that is not necessarily super light but still slim
Upgrade path available with 16 GB RAM (additional 16 GB stick can be added to the open slot)

Weaknesses

The 16 GB RAM bottlenecked system in Premiere Pro playback
Not impressive export times in Premiere Pro (2 minute and 29 second for 4K clip)
Export times for 6K were not satisfactory (368 drop frames)
Not ideal for heavy video editors requiring fast export times
No top-tier performance in Premiere Pro playback with just 16 GB RAM
Some components such as Photoshop and after effects require more RAM to reach their full potential
The laptop is not ideal for 6K video editing due to slow export times
The build quality, while excellent, has some plastic on the laptop's design

Microsoft Surface Pro 7+

Strengths

I think it's the best Windows tablet you can buy right now
The designers did a great job, it's well made and the kickstand is super useful
The display, surface pen, and performance are as good as last year
Noticing better performance with new entry processors
Great laptop replacement, I did replace my notebook with it for this review
It's also great to watch Netflix, browse, or use it as a pure tablet

Weaknesses

The screen bezels could be thinner
Battery life is not the best, especially when playing games or working with Photoshop
Costs may be too high for some users
Older Surface Pro 6 models are still available at lower prices, making this one not worth upgrading to
iPad and Android devices might be better suited for watching Netflix and playing games
The price-point is comparable to laptops, but not necessarily a laptop's capabilities
