ROG Zephyrus G14 or Legion 5i?
The G14 costs roughly $1,900 more and plays the same games at similar settings. What the money buys is 900 grams and a 2.8K OLED panel in a chassis you would carry daily. That is a real thing to want, but it is a portability premium, not a performance one.

$3,599.99
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14
Take the G14 only if you genuinely carry this machine every day and the weight is a hard requirement.
$1,700.09
Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10
Take the Legion 5i if the laptop mostly sits on a desk — it plays the same games for less than half the money.
Neither, if you are buying a gaming laptop for occasional gaming. A cheaper thin-and-light plus a desktop GPU beats both.
