[only 8GB VRAM]

Even without the more powerful GPU, this is still a very capable, high-quality gaming laptop at a relatively moderate price.

Doesn't matter, it's still limited by only 8GB VRAM.

If you can, wait for next year Refresh, which will use 3GB per GDDR7 chip, instead of the current 2GB (8 GB VRAM will become 12 GB VRAM) (the 5090 Laptop with its 24 GB VRAM and a 5080 GPU chip is already using them, otherwise it would only have 16G B VRAM: See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_RTX_50_series#Mobile, the same GB203 chip is being used for 16GB configs and 24GB configs (256-bit / 32-bit per chip = 8 GDDR7 chips, once with 2GB per chip (16GB VRAM) and once with 3GB per chip (24GB VRAM). This is common knowledge.).
