Does this laptop's 5080 take after the desktop 5080 and double as a lighter?
Doesn't matter, high-end GPUs in laptops are largely a waste of money because they are behind their desktop counterparts. The 70-series is the highest you can go before you start hitting diminishing returns for price-performance. If you understand that and still need portability, then this is a decent deal if the reviews for it are good.
On 40 series the 4080 mobile was in between a 3080 and 4070 desktop, at least according to Jarrod's Tech[jarrods.tech]. Since efficiency gains will not improve by much because they are still using the same node, I highly doubt there will be as much of an improvement as the 4080 was to the 3080.

Seems decent but a 4090 laptop on sale would likely be fetched for a similar price and have better performance.
The desktop variants need more power for 50 series and the node size is same as 40 series so without extra power, it likely won't be significantly better. This is why Nvidia is leaning heavy on 50 series exclusive frame gen and DLSS 4. From what I saw, you can actually run DLSS4 newer transformer model on older RTX devices
I would pass hard on these for now if they have as much controversy as their desktop brothers.... Since reviews are still pending and far and few in between spending a ton of money that might have extremely underwhelming hardware seems like a meh idea.
Almost never from my recollection but I didn't want to assume before the reviews are out. I say almost cuz I *think* the 10 series had the max-q editions and full blown laptop editions but it was so long ago my memory is fuzzy on the topic.

Yep. Usually they're a step down so this should be roughly equivalent to a desktop 5070

I haven't read the desktop vs laptop comparison in a while but I believe it was around a 3090 and it was specifically for the lenovo legion IIRC
