Hey folks,
I am undecided between the Legion 5i Pro (RTX 3060) and Legion 5 Pro (RTX 3070) since they come at about the same price with the latter one being slightly cheaper. I thought I might go with the 'normal' Legion and the better graphics card, since I am anyhow mostly working on an external screen.
Hence I put it down to graphic performance and wondered if anyone ever has looked into a comparison between the 2 RTX versions when they are operated at the same TDP (which should be the case for the Legion according to the specs - 130W).
Any input is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve,
do I understand you correctly? The 3070 version is even slightly cheaper? Sounds a bit weird :D
Regarding performance you could take a look here (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Comprehensive-list-of-all-laptops-featuring-the-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3060-Laptop-GPU-along-with-corresponding-TGPs.517260.0.html)and here (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Comprehensive-list-of-all-laptops-featuring-the-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3070-Laptop-GPU-along-with-corresponding-TGPs.517805.0.html)for an overview about all tests of 3060 and 3070 devices. Just pick two reviews with similar TDPs on each model.
I would the 3070 estimate to be around 10-15 % faster in 1080p and maybe slightly more in 1440p thanks to the bigger VRAM.
If prices and rest of specs are around the same, I would of course go for the 3070, but for 1080p gaming the 3060 is much more than enough.
P.S. Ah, I think "i" on the 3060 model stands for Intel and the 3070 model comes with AMD right?
