Hi, i'm looking for a laptop mainly for work use.

I will need to carry it with me each day so really want to be around the 15.6" - 16" mark.

Spec wise i would like the following;

5800h,
RTX 3060 or max of a 3070,
High refresh rate 1080p or 1600x1200 (or something in between).
Not fussed about design as long as its well built.

Not bothered about hard drive or RAM sizes as I have spare NVME drives and SODIMM but would like the ability to hold two drives.

I've been doing some research and keep coming back to a Lenovo Legion 5 or a Legion 5 Pro the former can be had for around £900 with discount.

Legion 5 Pro 16 is the way forwards. It ticks all your boxes and is about as good value as it gets currently.

Agreed, if they ever come back into stock.

If you don't mind the custom laptop route, I can recommend XMG.
I've last years model which came with a 4800H and RTX 2060. It runs very well for games and doesn't even reach 65deg whilst playing the likes of Warzone.
