In case you are wondering what the performance difference is between the RTX3060 and RX6600M: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2dvLxH6z_E

Really interesting results in both 1080p and 1440p gaming. Some of the timestamps:
9:31 6600M vs 3060 at 1080p - 18 Game Average
10:08 6600M vs 3060 at 1440p - 18 Game Average
10:40 Difference With FSR/DLSS
My advice is to get either 2. Or 3.
2 if you value a lighter laptop for commuting purposes..
3 if you don't plan on commuting much

I feel like option 3 is best overall and would last the longest due to the better airflow it may have over the slim laptop design of 2. But that's just my opinion.

How is the thermal performance between slim 7 and the legion 5? I would assume it's worse with the slim 7

No. Why would the legion 5 non pro be worse

The legion 7 has a superior trackpad however

Thanks a lot.

P.S. Does QHD make a difference in a 15.6"/16" display?

The screen on the L5 pro is fantastic. Incredibly sharp, bright, even, saturated (but not overly so). L5 pro is really a portable desktop. 5+ pounds, plus another pound or so for the brick and has paltry battery life without it.

Touchpad is so-so. It's a desktop replacement though, so you'll probably have a real mouse around anyway.

Speakers aren't great, but I've always got 'phones, buds or speakers so it could just have a beeper for all i care.

That said, i love mine. It does what i need it to do in spades. Just trying to help you make a decision.
