It's alright. I got mine with 64GB for $3200. This is close enough at $2999 with 32GB less. Legion which I think is one of the better laptops for 5090, same 16 size, OLED also. 285HX? I don't remember the exactly intel cpu with so many numbers to remember. lol

It's not worth it IMO, I regret buying it, it's too under powered and I can't get it outside since it is 400w power hungry at full load. battery does not last lol.

Yeah, but even at $3000 and it being a mobile 5090, still seems like an overall decent deal considering other 5090 laptops being well over $3000.

Does desktop perform better on same configuration due to better heat sink?

More TDP (600w peak reserved if you have a desktop and they want 1200w PSU to be on the safe size), a ton more CUDA cores, 32GB VRAM instead of 24GB, crazy memory bandwidth difference 1700GB/s vs ~896 GB/s.

google on cuda cores

RTX 5090 Laptop GPU: 10,496 CUDA cores
RTX 5090 Desktop GPU: 21,760 CUDA cores

I think 5070 desktop is just shy of 8000 but it's about the same processing speed as a laptop 5090 people said.
What is on the slow laptop 5090.

That's why desktop 5090 GPU alone is $4000+

They're not even close to the same chip. Half the CUDA cores, half the memory bandwidth, 1/6th the TDP, less memory: https://technical.city/en/video/G...090-mobile

It's a very interesting offer, but I think there are even better at a lower price. I found this one in B&H:

Lenovo 16" Legion Pro 7i for $2550 sounds pretty well

Before you get the wrath.... that laptop you linked is a 5080. not 5090 laptop GPU. Smilie

I don't recommend laptops at all for GPU use - maybe just games.

But what I have is the Lenovo 16" Legion Pro 7i Gaming Laptop. 64GB/5090 laptop gpu. I don't play games on it, you can't bring any of the fast gaming laptop out with you, drains battery, very heavy with the brick! like 7-8 lbs at least I think. I didn't weight it but it felt far heavier than my old 16" MacBook Pro + the brick.

I got the 32gb 4090 version for $3050 and regret not waiting for 64gb version.. depends on what you do, for my purpose, this still the best priced 24gb vram computer I can get that is brand new. I came from a dell 7550 with a 16gb vram RTX quadro 5000 card. Both ComfyUI and ollama is much faster on this mobile 5090 card.
