Hi all,
I've somehow ended up with two gaming laptops, and I'm wondering how best to work this. I intend for one to be a general-use machine (everyday use + basic photo editing + gaming) and one exclusively for higher-performance gaming (minimal other installs).

Lenovo Legion 5 (2021 model)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop, 8GB GDDR6
Memory: 16 GB DDR4-3200
Storage: 512 GB SSD
Display: 1980x1080, 165 Hz

Asus TUF A15 (2023 model)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop, 6GB GDDR6
Memory: 16 GB DDR5-4800
Storage: 1 TB SSD
Display: 1980x1080, 144 Hz

They seem fairly close on paper, so maybe it doesn't really matter either way, but I don't know enough to go into the details.
I'd appreciate any suggestions as to which would be better as the gaming-exclusive laptop. Thanks!
