Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 (2024) vs ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024): Which Laptop Is Better?

Although both devices can handle demanding tasks, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 (2024) and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) are very different. The former is primarily a workstation laptop designed for professional workloads like design and simulation, while the latter is, first and foremost, a gaming laptop. The ThinkPad is a better choice if you want the most processing power or need more than 32GB of RAM. You can play games on the ThinkPad, but unlike the G14, none of its displays support VRR to reduce screen tearing.
