Pros and Cons

MSI Cyborg 14

Strengths

The laptop offers impressive performance without sacrificing portability making it comparable to standard work laptops in weight.
The display is a 14in 144hz IPS display with a display ratio of 16x 10 and a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, offering good visual experience across different types of content and environments.
The speakers deliver clear and loud sound providing a satisfying audio experience.
The laptop features an Intel Core i7-13628 processor boasting 10 cores six performance cores and four efficiency cores with a max turbo frequency of 4.9 GHz.
The battery life is decent for a gaming laptop of this size, lasting around 4 hours and 47 minutes in YouTube playback test at 50% brightness.

Weaknesses

The keyboard lacks an numpad and the arrow keys are cramped on the edge, often leading to accidental key presses.
The hinge opens to a limited angle making it difficult to use when placed on your lap.
The touchpad sometimes responds oddly when your palm rests firmly on the palm rest area.
The placement of the IO ports is unconventional, positioning frequently used ports on the right side near where people typically place their mouse.
The webcam is only a 720p camera which may not be sufficient for those who need high-quality video conferencing.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i

Strengths

You always get one nice thing on the laptop but not all the nice things that you get on a more expensive one so for this one the nice thing is the touch panel here it looks very very nice for a lowcost device
The performance isn't bad here either although again we're struggling a bit with only 8 gabt of ram when we've got higher end tasks that we might want to do on it
It's one of those typical trade-offs you have to consider when you are shopping for a lowcost laptop
If you were looking to run an alternative operating system this might be something to consider for that especially given its price point
