-Better Battery Life can get close to double the battery life compared to Intel.
-Lower Temps.
-Less issues with thermal throttling.
-Quieter Fans as a result of lower temps.
-Virtually Identical Gaming Performance since Intel CPU's start stealing power away from the GPU at max power.
-Cheaper
Cons:
-PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0. - Read/Write speeds capped at 4000 Mbps with Gen 3 Drives compared to 7000 Mbps with Gen 4.
-No Thunderbolt support.
-Fast but not as fast as Intel with productivity applications.
-Worse Wifi Card (Ugh Mediatek) - but can easily replace with a cheap $20 Intel AX 210.
Basically for gaming and everyday use you will not notice the difference.
Now if you do productivity, video editing, etc then Intel is better, but much more expensive and I don't really find any on sale for this price.
I bought this last year. I've rocked a 3-Monitor setup for work from home with it. I also game like crazy, nightly, every day.
I cannot recommend it enough. It's been solid as a rock. There was an initial faux pas at the beginning of its lifecycle where the firmware and Nvidia didn't get along very well and the machines lid reopening would cause a blue screen when waking from sleep.
We all complained simultaneously, and after a certain BIOS revision, the issue is solved.
This model isn't stifled by Max power limitations like many other 3060 and 3070 devices are. I can drive three monitors at 1080P, 165 Hz on all three just fine. (one HDMI, two USB-C)
I typically have every single port on the entire machine in use except for maybe the auxiliary jack for audio.
I also especially like that they didn't skimp out on the arrow keys being full size. I'm sure it would've made the keyboard replacement cheaper to have it all fit on a unilateral row, but they decided to have it dip down a little bit into the body of the machine. Love.
Purchasing the machine directly from Lenovo gave me a bunch of points that I could use. I used it on their $80-ish legion backpack, and have loved that as well.
I sound like a complete shill and a half, but I've just honestly been so pleased, I haven't even thought about upgrading — which, as a slickdealsaholic, is incredibly telling.

The jump to the 3070 > the difference in in CPU, at the same $1,099 price. No?

Also how long does the battery last with light browsing?
