I, am a fanboy of Legion, doesn't get why this laptop has the same gaming performance score comparing to the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 Gen 10, despite having less FPS?

Excellent review with plenty of useful benchmark data. The comparison between the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Laptop GPUs is especially helpful since it shows that the real-world gap at 2560×1600 isn't as dramatic as many people might expect. I came across a similar discussion while browsing Orange hardwares, and it matches the conclusion here that the RTX 5080 is the smarter value for most gamers unless you specifically need the extra VRAM for workloads like video editing or AI. Notebook check, Tech Power Up, and Tom's Hardware all provide interesting perspectives on these high-end gaming laptops, so comparing multiple reviews definitely helps before making such an expensive purchase.
