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.

MSI Summit E14

Strengths

This laptop has a fantastic screen with a 14-inch full HD display and a 16:10 ratio, making it ideal for business use.
The MSI Summit E14 Flip Evo comes with a built-in pen that can be used to take notes and the computer can even transcribe those notes for you.
It features enterprise-grade encryption and biometric security options like fingerprint and Windows Hello authentication.
The laptop has an impressive port selection, including USB-C ports, HDMI, micro SD card reader, headphone jack, and a switch that locks off the webcam.

Weaknesses

One of the only complaints mentioned is that the pen blocks one of the Thunderbolt 4.0 ports when attached.
No specific con was mentioned about the laptop's performance or battery life.
