Depends on if you need the 6 core CPU, or you can find 1650ti machines for around $900 with the i5 9300h

The legion has a better processor and better cooling, other than that they are essentially the same. Same ram size and speed, storage, resolution, screen size. If getting the i7 and having better cooling justify the $150 to you then I'd say go for it, you can also look on delloutlet.com and see if they have any "gaming laptops" on there, price is usually pretty decent especially if you go for a refurb unit.

well, strictly speaking, the L340 is probably better bang for buck. the i7 9750H is overkill with a GTX 1650 and kinda wasted. BUT....

 

The best thing i can say about the Y540 with these specs is the better cooling no doubt. Cooling is the biggest foe with gaming laptops and the L340 is a normal laptop that happens to have a GPU built in rather than a purpose built gaming laptop with proper cooling.

 

In short, i can see the cooling kill the L340s performance. Y540 is preferred. 

 

Your not gonna be playing triple 'A' games anyways with these specs, no loss given most of em suck. 

 

But that being said, see if you can find some 1660Ti laptops. You might be able to find some GTX 1660 Ti laptops if you look hard enough or wait for a sale of sorts if possible. The 1660 TI is a nice step up from a 1650 and the i7 9750Hs horsepower is better in use with a 1660 Ti. The market is spammed so hard with 1660TI laptops its insane.

 

I guess you can kinda think CPUs as an engine and GPUs as the tires to a car. The 9750H has lots of horsepower but paired with a GTX 1650 it wont put all of it down. Better suited with a 1660Ti.

 

Just my thoughts, feel free to correct me if im wrong.
