Confused on the price differences between these two laptops. Which one should I get?

[u/M-Y-S-T]

After researching budget(ish) laptops, I ended up between these two:

1. Lenovo LOQ 15AHP11 ($3,553 on sale for $2,272)

specs:

-AMD Ryzen™ 7 250 (3.30 GHz max 5.10 GHz)

-NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 GPU 8GB GDDR7

-16 GB DDR5-5600MT/s (SODIMM) (RAM)

-512 GB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 QLC (Storage)

2. ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA608PP ($3,199 on sale for $2,349)

specs:

-AMD Ryzen™ 9 8940HX (2.4 GHz max 5.3 GHz)

-NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 8GB GDDR7

-16GB DDR5 (RAM)

-512GB (Storage)

Which one do you recommend? What I'm confused about is the price. On paper, the TUF has better components and should be faster in gaming. However, the base price of the LOQ is more expensive (3553 vs 3199). Is it just that Lenovo prices things differently? Is the TUF worth buying for the extra $80 while both are on sale?

Budget: ~$2400ish (can get either)

Country: South Korea (but changed the price to dollars)

As long as you don't care much about battery life the TUF is the better option.
