Zenbook 14X (R9 6900HX) + eGPU vs Leonvo Legion 5 Slim 14"?

I am trying to optimize my setup. Essentially, I know a MacBook Pro would likely be the best option, but I just do not enjoy MacOS. I am looking at two setups:

1. Ultra Portable + eGPU
2. Thin "Gaming" Laptop

My use case is general browsing, media consumption, photo editing (DxO, Affinity), some gaming and some video editing, as I am that soccer dad for my kid's team (4k 10-bit 4:2:2 h.265 clips).

What I am looking for in a laptop:

1. Good idle, browsing and movie fan noise or the ability to easily control the fan profiles. I don't care how loud a laptop gets when editing photos, rendering or gaming, but I do care if it's annoying in regular use.
2. Good screen. I need good colour coverage for entertainment and editing.
3. Relatively portable. I travel a lot for work, so it's nice having a setup that I can bring with me.

What I've narrowed it down to:

1. Asus Zenbook 14X (6900HX with 16 GB RAM and 2.8k OLED) + GPD G1 (7600 XT Mobile). I can get this setup for about 1.2k, as I have a friend with a G1 he is looking to get rid of.
2. Lenovo Legion 5 Slim 14 (7840HS with 16 GB RAM, 2.8k OLED and RTX 4060 Mobile). I can get this setup for about 1.1k.

As far as I can tell, the Legion Slim will be about 15% faster on the CPU, quite a bit better on the iGPU and dGPU, plus can take a second nVME. Its downside is that it is about 25% heavier excluding the weight of the G1 or the power brick.

Has anyone tried this setup before? A potential wild card is that I also have six months of GFN Ultimate, so maybe I can omit a dGPU altogether?

*** Update 1 ***

I ended up purchasing a Slim 5 and MacBook Pro 14 M1 Max. The eGPU solution is just way too janky and the laptop would occasionally blue screen or drop frames all over the place in DaVinci.

The Slim 5 and MacBook are both arriving today. May the best laptop win.
