Lenovo Legion 5 Pro vs Asus ROG Zephyrus G15

Lenovo Legion 5 pro RTX 3070: $1959, Needs new RAM for best performance. With a 32GB RAM it costs ~$2130.

Light, and made for mostly editing with gaming on the side. He has shown interest in a ROG Zephyrus G15 but I was waiting on your opinions since I own a G15 and it has a lower wattage GPU.

Its not functional. There are tons of dead spots on it plus it ghost registers 1 sometimes 2 finger inputs. I love this laptop but theres no permanent fix for the trackpad which makes the laptop underperform. Sadly im returning it this week

I did something like what you're talking about and bought an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 to use as a portable workstation, it's probably more machine than I need right now and assuming it holds up I can't see having any performance problems with it for years. I don't do much gaming (if any) but the performance is hugely helpful for large software compiles and accelerated photo and video editing. Look at the slim design gaming laptops if you haven't yet, mine is a 15.6" machine and weighs just over 4lb (~<2kg,) it's amazingly portable considering how much performance it's capable of

Run all games nicely on ultra settings. Fans keep relatively quiet to other gaming laptops. Decent thermals comparatively to other laptops.

Either way, keeping the laptop cool enough will help protect all other components and should keep the machine running well for years longer. -Webcam and mic quality shouldn't be deciding factors as quality USB or bluetooth ones are rather inexpensive and readily available.
