Which laptop should I choose... LOQ 15AHP10 or Legion 5 15AHP10?

:snoo_thoughtful: Laptop Buying Advice

Budget: $1,400 Country: Vietnam Use Case: Rhythm gaming, some AAA gaming, university, daily use. I don't really chase for ultra settings, these specs are more for laptop's longevity. Preferred Specs: RTX 5050, Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Notes: Alright, so I've somehow managed to narrow it down to two laptops, and now I'm stuck because neither of them seems like bad options. Both are 2025 models, both have an RTX 5050, and both are the 15AHP10 series. The only real CPU difference is that the LOQ has a Ryzen 7 250, while the Legion has a Ryzen 7 260. Which... seems to be a minor performance difference. The price difference is only around $70 in my country (Vietnam). Yeah... our laptop market is kind of painful. Prices are inflated and good models disappear from stock all the time. The LOQ (the one without WUXGA) is the one I've been eyeing for weeks. I actually like how it looks more—the design is simple, and I weirdly prefer the tilted LOQ logo over the Legion's, but either works fine too! Currently, I'm wondering if paying a bit more is worth it for the better build quality, cooling, battery, and OLED display. My only concern is... the OLED itself. I've read a few posts mentioning burn-in and some weird stuff with Advanced Optimus/VRR. I have no idea if those are actual problems regarding this specific model or just people being unlucky. This is also my first laptop in almost 10 years, so I'm probably overthinking everything. If you were in my shoes, would you go with the LOQ or spend the extra ~$70 for the Legion? I'd love to hear from people who have actually used either of these laptops for a few months, if possible.
