A single run of 3dmark's Time Spy - 8319.
Desktop 3700X + RX 5700 XT supposedly gets 9216, according to their info.
Some other things to note..It's pretty hefty, around 8lbs together combined with the huge power brick. Gaming benefits however, it has a mux switch, which allows for more performance on the discrete gpu because it bypasses the igpu. Pretty sure the Thinkbook also has one, but can't confirm because I don't own one. I think the ram on Microcenter's Legion 5 (2021) isn't soldered also, which is nice because laptops/prebuilts lately come with the slowest ram possible cause cheaper production. This Microcenter particular config has: 16GB of DDR 3200 1Rx16 CL22, lower density. Being able to swap out to 1Rx8 or 2Rx8 (both sides have chips) with better timings ekes out a bit more performance. Just be careful since most laptops, including this one, does not have a BIOS that supports enabling of XMP, so besides finding ram that is 1Rx8 or 2Rx8, running at 3200MHz has to be default through plug and play.
Other than that, it does allow for 1 more m.2 nvme upgrade (no SATA bracket like in some other Legion configurations) in addition to a larger battery. Pretty noisy on performance mode, acceptable on Auto mode, but it won't thermal throttle since the cooling is pretty good.
Edit: just cracked open the laptop to double check whether ram was soldered or not, has 2 populated sodimm slots, it's not. https://i.imgur.com/rIhVZSB.jpg
Likewise, if anyone wnats to offset the cost of this laptop with for the last few months that Eth mining is still viable, it gets 40 Mhash out of the box. Overclocking it didn't yield much of an improvement. Even in Performance mode, and memory @ +650 it barely went up 2 Mhash. That improvement isn't worth the extra 35 watts of power used.
In any event, I'm happy. Problem solved and I hope it helps someone else.

I got it to work. In case anyone is wondering, setting it to Performance or what not in Windows power setting doesn't help. Neither does any adjustments in the bios. I had to go into the Legion software to set it into performance. It defaults to balanced. I guess the Legion software overrides everything else. It's now running at the full stated power.

Noise, it's noisy. It's not too loud though. There's some YouTube videos on it. It's like 53 decibels.
Idk where someone got the specs listed above, but it's single color keyboard backlit. 144hz screen.
It's a solid machine. I love it. I don't play on battery, plugged in constantly. The Lenovo has built in battery saver to stop the charge between 55-60.
Any questions I'd answer
I had some trouble when I first started using it. Watched some YouTube videos which stated to turn off the hybrid mode in the Lenovo vantage software to disable the igpu and everything runs great now.

Some have asked about the fan noise - It seems pretty typical for a gaming laptop. It is not quiet by any means during performance mode when it's pushed, but it's also in the level of noise I would totally expect. Maybe for more context...with ear buds in I have no problem hearing the game sound clearly while the fan is running hard when volume set between 12-14. I imagine with nice on-ears or over ears you wouldn't hear much fan noise at all. You can use Fn+Q to switch between three modes: performance, quiet, and hybrid I think they are called - they're indicated by an led above the keyboard, red, white, or blue (performance, hybrid, or quiet). Only red/performance for gaming, but point here is when just browsing and doing simple things like YouTube, Reddit, etc. quiet (blue) is just fine and you hear no fan noise; not any that I recall noticing.
