Unless your workload really benefits from having 14 cores I don't see any reason to get the 2022 model. The new 3070ti will perform slightly worse and the 3080ti will barely be better than the 3080. With intel you'll get way worse battery life despite having a large battery with the new system. Now with the 2022 you can't have the combination of amd processor with nvidia gpu. Although the 6800m is still great it sits between a 3070 and 3080 in terms of performance leaning closer to the 3080.
In terms of gaming you are unlikely to see any worthwhile gains compared to the previous gen. I had the new zephyrus m16 12900h and 3070ti(100 watt even though they claimed 120watts) and the performance was disappointing.
I would rather get the ryzen 5900 hx and 3080 16 gb with full 165 watts over anything available right now and at $1800 it's a great bargain.
I was going to jump on this but I also like the new design.
I figure the lower specced legion 7s will be similar to this price after cashback and I don't need a 3080.
I would take a 2022 version with a 3070 if it's the same price. I don't think it will though. From jarrod's video, I think the intel one starts at around $2,400.

Yeah, that price point is a little worrying... but if Lenovo has as many sales as they did this generation I won't mind holding off a little bit. I wouldn't mind an all AMD system for Linux compatibility, either.

I believe it is 165w. Also looking at the previous frontpage deal for this laptop when it was $2050 13 days ago the specs in the description of the post says "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 16GB Graphics"

As of right, I'm deciding between the 2021 L5P, 2022 L5P, 2021 Zephyrus G15 w/ 3080, and just placed an order for this one. Then I saw the 2022 Legion 7 and thought about that as well. My reasons are admittedly very superficial. The 2022 Legion 7 looks like a much more polished and beautiful machine than the 2021 version. I'm sure this 2021 Legion 7 provides much better value.
Bottom line to keep it simple. If you want/need 16gb video memory that this 3080 offers at full power, you will not find a cheaper price anywhere now or this year.
Superficially, all other arguments are valid and a personal decision.

Or should I wait for the 2022 legion 7?

2x8gb but not soldered. You can change both.
