16-32GB of RAM, Ryzen 4800H/5800H, Windows + Linux on another drive. Legion 5 with 4800H and a starter dGPU (1660 Ti, 1650 Ti) has a really good value (although it's not a full gaming laptop). If you need something super-portable then 4800U/4700U devices but there will be some tradeoffs.

Zen 2 is still good. You will have to pay premium for Zen 3 laptops. For specific model check it reviews.
