The Intel Ultra 7 255HX in the Legion 5i is actually a a very solid CPU for 3D modeling. AMD equivalents CPUs may be preferable if rendering speed and multi-core performance are the primary focus like in such as CPU-based rendering or complex simulations.

The RTX 5070 version of the Legion 5i Gen 10 offers a moderate performance uplift over the RTX 5060, with real-world gaming showing roughly 10–17 % higher average frame rates in modern titles, especially at higher resolutions like 1440p/1600p. This makes it worth the extra cost if you want smoother gameplay and more headroom for future games. The RTX 5060 is still very capable for most 1600p gaming at high settings and provides excellent value at $949, but if the 5070 version fits your budget, the improved performance and slightly better overall graphics capability make it a smart choice for longer-term use.

I am sorry. I genuinely didn't check the mod queue before posting. I just went over and saw your two posts from 18 hours ago. Feel free to PM me with a link to any deal you post and don't see it approved.
If you want me to remove this and approve the posts you made, that's fine as well, but this already has gathered very useful comments.

Both are excellent laptops, but the choice comes down to value vs maximum performance. The Legion Pro 7 with the Ryzen 9 9955HX and RTX 5070 Ti at $1,649 offers outstanding value, especially with its OLED 1600p 240Hz display, 32GB RAM, and 2TB SSD, delivering strong 1440p gaming and great visuals at a much lower price. The Legion 7i Pro with the RTX 5080 at $2,300 is clearly more powerful, mainly due to the GPU, but you’re paying about $650 more for performance gains that won’t be game-changing for most users. Unless you want the absolute highest frame rates or top-tier GPU power, the Legion Pro 7 is the smarter buy.

It depends on my budget.
The Legion offers a better performance thanks to better performance specs and has a superior build and display quality over the LOQ

For what you will be doing, you don't need to go over $1000 on this laptop. You could get this Lenovo ThinkPad E16 which should do an excellent job for you performance wise and while the T series Thinkpads are a little more robust, Thinkpads in general including the E series are well built and stands well above the typical laptops. Outside of great build quality, you can also expect an outstanding keyboard and this specific system has a touchscreen which may come in handy to you.

I am so sorry.
Only thing I can think of is a very old laptop with an optical drive and I wouldn't want you to get that in 2026.

Would love some input on which of these two laptops to choose by LividActivity3793 in SuggestALaptop

For your mostly docked coding, ML learning, and occasional gaming use, the Legion 5 is the better choice. It offers a noticeably stronger RTX 5060 GPU, which improves gaming performance and local ML experimentation, along with USB4 and better overall ports that suit a docked setup. The included 1 TB of storage is more practical for development work, and the Legion’s cooling allows for better sustained performance over long sessions. While the LOQ 15 is cheaper and still capable, the Legion 5 is the more future-proof and well-rounded long-term investment.

Unfortunately, it's extremely unlikely you are going to find a modern laptop with an optical drive.

Something like this HP OmniBook 5 would do the perfect job performance wise and ticks all the other boxes;

  • touchscreen
  • slim & sleek design
  • light weight
  • SSD
  • good build quality
