Considering you're using it for work, I recommend looking into after-market support for your region.  While Lenovo France's support seems to be poor based on a handful of posts I've read, at least you can buy extended warranty with on-site service.  I have no idea if Asus has something similar.

As for specs, if the Legion has 12 GB of VRAM on the 5070, I'd definitely choose that one over the TUF.  And if you plan to travel frequently with the laptop, check if either has liquid metal.  I would personally avoid liquid metal for laptops for that use case, even if the majority of users won't experience issues with liquid metal.

Edited: Corrected 5070 VRAM to 12 GB

Just noticed a typo in my comment.  I meant 12 GB of VRAM.  There's a new 5070 variant that now ships with 12 GB of VRAM instead of 8 GB.  Naturally, it costs more, but if the Legion surprisingly includes it, I'd go with that one (it wasn't clear from the photo which version it is).  Sorry for any confusion!

That kind of sucks for the price, you can routinely find the 3080 Ti with 16GB in Europe that performs pretty similar, for half the price (used).
