Any thoughts on what deal is better between this deal and the Asus Zephyrus G16 at Best Buy right now?

So I bought both of them. The Asus has no vents on the back or sides, and therefore overheats if it's not on a desk or a cooling pad, even with minimal use (no video games). The Asus has an OLED screen which is nice but burn in will eventually happen.
I had issues with the Wi-Fi card not connecting to 5Ghz on the first Lenovo Legion 7i I purchased, and I returned it and got another one and had an issue with one of the fans not working. Maybe I got really unlucky or maybe this is discounted for a reason…

My experience with gaming laptops it can charge but it doesn't like it since most of them need like 250w or so.. while PD ports Max out at like 60 or 90watts

The Legion because the RAM is upgradable to at least 32gb (maybe even up to 64gb... can someone with first-hand experience confirm?) compared to the G16 which has 16gb soldered RAM.

I have a Legion 5 pro for 5 years and went to BestBuy to compare exactly g16 and this:

legion cooling and build quality is better, especially the white version, quality and feel is stunning and beats the oled screen g14 and 16.

Performance is definitely better than asus on same spec.

But the reason i went to compare is that my legion 5 pro died for the 2nd time. First time ram slot, this time unknown, but possibly mobo again. Somewhat common for my generation of legion unfortunately.

So i asked my friend who owns asus for opinion even with 3 breakdowns on my legion.

He would still suggest legion for the build quality and performance since he said asus hardware aging is even faster.

Asus has a 100w 4070 and Lenovo has a 140w 4060, so Asus is 10% faster on GPU performance instead of regular 20% . ASUS is lighter and slightly better battery life.

I have this and got it for 850. It's heavy and the charging brick is heavy with combined weight of 7-8lbs. It is also one of the lightest 16 compared to asus. I wish it had window hello instead fingerprint scanner. I never seen it run at 140w nor should you, the performance flatline at 100w. 4060 is plenty fast with many games averaging 100fps on high and max resolution. The games run smooth unlike amd graphics. There is no option to turn off dpu completely unlike asus. The screen is good enough to compete with oled
