Remember a Laptop 5080 does  NOT have even close to the performance of a 5080 discrete card.

The Laptop 5080 GPU is closer to a 4070 discrete card.

Ya, so much for truth in advertising. I once bought a set of bluetooth speakers that advertised 20 watts per channel that came with a PSU that had an output of 17 watts. My guess is the design must have been 100% efficient and that the other 23 watts came from flux capacitors.

At least my 4070 laptop beats a 2080 desktop ..  lol

Laptops are great if you need mobility. If you don't then desktops will out perform them in every category for less money.
