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.

Razer Book 13

Strengths

The Razer Book delivers with the best on-the-go performance you can get in an ultrabook aside from going with one of the new M1 max
It has a beautiful 16 by 10 display which not only gives us more real estate but it also gets rid of that ugly chin and because of that we also have super slim bezels on the sides
Brightness went from an average 350 nits to a class leading 500 nits and with that reflectivity was also really cut down so this machine is perfect for use in bright rooms and outdoors
It has a new vapor chamber cooling runs cooler and quieter than the XPS as well because of that under 100 cpu load in Cinebench the Razer Book is able to run faster and score significantly higher than the XPS 13
The performance did not go down like most windows laptops it actually went up a little bit, and yes we did make sure all of the throttling options were turned off on that Dell

Weaknesses

It has poor speakers built into the laptop itself, which is disappointing considering the high-end specs
The display doesn't have DCI-P3 wide colors that Apple and Dell are offering so if you're a high-end photo or video editor wanting more than sRGB on the internal display keep that in mind
It's not as portable as some other ultrabooks due to its size and weight, making it less ideal for traveling
The battery life is not exceptional compared to some of its competitors, especially when using demanding applications
The high-end model has a relatively small 256GB SSD, which may not be enough storage space for heavy users
