The company made this design to help gamers in streaming and allow them to use cameras while gaming. Also the advanced cooling system needed a place . ;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">ROG on the other hand has a more conventional design. The in built cooling system is not that great but you can add using the POGO pin. ;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">The performance is similar in both the devices but Legion has an edge due to cooling system and response rate. ;</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">So, you need to consider the fact that with Legion you will not be able to perform day to day tasks that easily due to its design and the camera positioning. The ROG on the other hand can be a daily driver or a gaming beat as per the requirements. ;</p>
