Our Verdict
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16 (2023)
Dell XPS 14 (2024)
While the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16 (2023) and Dell XPS 14 (2024) feature powerful hardware, they're quite different. The Lenovo is a 16-inch mid-range gaming laptop with hardware capable of performing workstation tasks, while the Dell is a premium 14-inch thin and light workstation. The Lenovo offers a great user experience with a big keyboard and touchpad and high refresh rate QHD+ IPS displays. However, it's a big, bulky device with terrible battery life. By contrast, the Dell laptop offers capable hardware in a small, portable form factor. This makes it the better choice for professionals. Its build quality is outstanding, and this model offers all-day battery life for light tasks. However, the keyboard and touchpad are worse than those of the Lenovo, as they require a steep adaptation period.
