Check https://www.pugetsystems.com/desktop.php they test and publish the results of different builds for different task with explanation. They can even build a computer per your specification.

The differences I`m aware of: -different position of webcam(under/above) the screen -a little bit better cooling in 5i but the undervolting is now disabled on BIOS level -no buttons on a trackpad -the same version of RTX 2060 -slightly better CPU(3% according to CPU benchmarks) -the y540 has a HF CPU so no integrated GPU ergo abhorrent battery life(but I`m not gonna be very mobile so no issue here) -slightly better RAM clocks (2666 vs 3200) None of the above points are noticeable in my view, were you thinking about about something else?

Hi, consider Thinkpads E15 or E590, I bought 2 of them 2 years ago for my workplace and they work flawlessly, the new ones have Ryzen 4000 processors, if you can go for them.

I`m currently thinking of buying a gaming laptop(and I can`t wait for Ryzen, my previous one died) and I had narrowed my choice to Lenovo Legion Y540-15IRH i7-9750HF/15,6FHD144Hz/16GB/1000SSD/RTX2060(the cost is 1430 USD and that includes sales tax/VAT in Poland 23% so it would be something like 1165USD compared to US prices) but for around 100 USD more I`m able to buy Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H 81Y600C0PB i7-10750H/15,6FHD/144Hz/8GB/512SSD/RTX2060/NoOS. Apart from CPU difference 9750HF(I know this one doesn`t have integrated graphics) vs 10750H is there any reason to move up? I heard cooling is better in 5i but the other hand undervolting is disabled. I watched some videos, read the reviews but nowhere did I find any comparison except maybe visual features, moving the webcam or removing touchpad buttons that doesn`t make much difference to me. Does any of you have any knowledge about this two laptops?
