Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16 (2023) vs ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition (2023): Which Laptop Is Better?

The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 (2023) and the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16 (2023) are both excellent 16-inch gaming laptops. There are many similarities between these two laptops; the only differences have to do with the webcam and port selection, with the Lenovo coming out on top for both. You'll also get better performance out of the Lenovo, as it's available with faster—albeit more power-hungry—CPUs and GPUs. Battery life is the same on both laptops when gaming; however, the ASUS lasts significantly longer in light uses.
