The Lenovo Legion 7i non-Pro tops out at a 5070 despite having more robust cooling because a higher end card is throttled by thermal limits in a thin & light form factor.
I would actually go for the 5060 model of this and save some money.
I own the previous generation G14 with 3060 and it has been great. But just upgraded to that Legion 7i non-Pro with the 5070 - undervolted to ~80 watts, 65-67 degrees on load and still getting ~95% stock performance, so I'm very happy with it.
Maybe a good undervolt would be a game changer for this G14 with the 5070 TI?

And I am not sure why are you speculating that this 5070 Ti will be so less powerful that you need to consider a RTX 5060. Check any reviews and you'll find out that even this 110W RTX 5070 Ti is way more powerful than even a full powered 115W RTX 5060. Again check the reviews instead of guessing.

This is Slickdeals, so we're all about maximizing value. The 5050 and 5060 laptop cards are equivalent to their desktop counterparts. The 5070 and higher are all only a fraction of their desktop performance, with the value proposition getting weaker as you go higher in the lineup.
I'll just leave this here for reference:

So from a strictly value per dollar perspective, the 5060 is the slickest Nvidia mobile GPU on the market - and even more so for thin and light laptops where the 5060 shines.
Again, I own the older G14 3060 and it was great.
The 8GB VRAM concerns are overblown. 8GB DDR7 (448 GB/s) has 65% higher bandwidth than 8GB DDR6 (280 GB/s).
Yes the 5070 TI provides more future headroom, but for that price difference you're halfway to buying a brand new RTX 6060 G14 with 12 GB DDR7X and "super ultra multi frame generation 10X" in another year or two - if history repeats, as it usually does. Nvidia is very predictable.
The next generation 6060 will have the latest 12GB Vram along with the latest features that make it more desirable than the 5070 TI - more so with a proper generational uplift from a transition to smaller 3nm or 2nm lithography process. Nvidia 4000 to 5000 was underwhelming because both are 4nm, so they fed the 5000 series cards with 30% more cores, 30% more power for 30% more performance.
No need to guess -
When in doubt, zoom out.
It's quiet when not gaming, battery life is solid when not gaming (~8hrs). The screen and build is nice. It does get hot and loud while gaming.
It's costly because of the form factor and doesn't look like a gaming laptop.

And what memory bandwidth has to o with memory capacity. The GPU needs to place the Shaders and other details in the video memory 1st before transferring it to the SMs for processing and don' you think 8GB i gonna limit that. And it is not overblown at all, even tody, there are plenty of games which suffer from this, even at 1440p.

I went to the Bestbuy store that had one listed as "excellent" for 1670 but when they opened the box, it was missing the charger so they updated the condition to fair and sold it to me for 1550.
Is total tech $180/yr so for 2 years it will cost $360?
