Pros and Cons

MSI Vector GP76

Strengths

The MSI Vector GP76 is fairly well-rounded for being a gaming laptop
It has suitable ports for its intended uses, including three USB 3.2 gen 1 type A ports and a single USB type-c port
Typing on the vector gp76 with the RGB backlit Keys is a delight thanks to the springs and the keys offering a comfortable and responsive ride
The laptop has a blazingly rapid and friendly refresh rate of 360 Hertz, suitable for highly responsive video game addicts
It didn't shortchange The Gaming Community with its internals, featuring an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070t GPU with eight gigabytes of video memory

Weaknesses

The thermal system and mediocre battery life prevent it from being at the top of its class
Battery life is poor, taking only 2 hours and 45 minutes for a web surfing session set to 150 nits of screen brightness
The laptop's design is minimalistic, which might not be appealing to some users
The camera is worth a few points but the results of the video recordings look good (this one is more of a neutral point)
The fans can be loud and overpowering at times

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.
