I've been looking at one of the Lenovo Legion 5s with the AMD CPU and a 1660ti graphics card. I don't play a TON of games, so that one seems a reasonable price for a reasonably powerful PC. If you get an AMD + 2060 combo, I think you're in good territory just so long as you're not buying it for ray tracing, because even the desktop variants are a little under-powered in that department. And Lenovo seems to have a strong rep for quality builds and good cooling.
The more I read, the more I'm stupefied that Intel doesn't have a better solution than "nerf every Intel chip." I decided to try my hand at undervolting my old 4810mq and it's crazy how much it improves thermals without impacting clock speeds at all. Well at least MSI seems to have let their users work around it.
