The 4070 is about 20-30% faster than the 6700s in rasterization, plus you get DLSS 3.0 for games that support it - I play at 1440p so this was important to me to have the extra performance.

I had the 2021 for a little bit, but returned it as the heat blowing on my mouse hand was too much to play with longer term

I bought the one with the 4060 for $1400, is the 4070 at least 14% better since it cost 14% more?

Yes, this thing gets loud and hot... pretty unavoidable if you're going to cram beefy hardware into a sleek form factor. That said, it's designed and constructed very well. The screen is amazing and can get BRIGHT at at 500nits; I haven't had to put the brightness at more than 30% for any indoor condition. Really impressed with it overall and happy I bought.
But back to the heat-- my solution was to use Armoury crate to undervolt the cpu and dgpu pretty significantly and also set some custom fan curve profiles to try and curb the jet engines when under load. I haven't done benchmarking but I can tell you that with these settings the cpu doesn't really go above 80c when gaming and it still feels like it can perform. At WQXGA res, I get a reliable 30fps with high settings in Valheim and 40fps with medium settings.
The components in this thing are rated for much higher temps than 80c, so if you want to use it to its full potential, it should be fine (I believe it has 100c+ temp ratings at the minimum). But, yes, it will be loud and hot; expect temps in the mid 90's doing this. Even at 80c, I can feel the heat through the keyboard keys when at load. If you plan to do a lot of gaming and don't need as much portability, then you should get a gaming laptop with a bigger form and thus more room to breathe.
