Pros and Cons

Lenovo Legion 5

Strengths

The actual performance in games was still good and where we'd expect it to be relative to other 3060 laptops.
There are some improvements with this year's Legion 5, but ultimately for the tasks that you'd actually be using it for like gaming, the differences just aren't all that big compared to last year's version.
Outside of gaming, the 6800H gets about 10% more performance compared to last year's 5800H.
The competition has also gotten tougher at this price point, but this year's version did have some thermal throttling on the GPU only in a heavy CPU and GPU stress test.
The actual performance in gaming was still good where we'd expect it to be relative to other 3060 laptops.

Weaknesses

This year's version had some thermal throttling on the GPU, but I only noticed that in a heavy CPU and GPU stress test. And that kind of just seems to be a result of the increased GPU power limit this year.
The actual performance gain compared to last year's model was not very big for gaming, especially considering the increase in price.
It might be worth waiting for next-gen models in 2023 if you are after a big performance gain.
Not having the 1440p option at the moment is a drawback
The Ryzen 6000 just hasn't given us a whole lot of performance gain compared to last year's 5000, which might be disappointing for some users.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2

Strengths

The pluses for this are deep key travel, a really comfy keyboard, it's relatively speaking pretty thin and light even if it's not verging on carbon territory, and a lot of ports here I mean ethernet on an ultrabook you just don't see that anymore
A really comfy keyboard
Display options are pretty decent for this class of machine too
