I examined various Lenovo models; the ones fitting my requirements are significantly beyond my budget, and the available options with M2 slots and RAM are already fixed.

Did you speak with a Lenovo representative?
There could be alternatives you missed, and Lenovo consistently offers strong sales.
The extremely compact devices will include fixed components.
However, the workstation models offer upgradeable parts and allow customization to your preferences.

I believe I've discovered my ideal laptop. It's a bit pricier than I planned, but I'm really impressed by the toolless chassis design.

Good find.
It looks like it ticks all of your boxes.
It pays to buy the best, regardless of price for something you use every day.

Only 8gb of VRAM available. Nvidia being affordable, yet adding a premium once more.
Seems you'll need to choose the 5070ti to achieve more than 8gb for a 50 series GPU on mobile.

I do have a Legion Go, it's awesome. It's great for gaming when I don't need my PC.

Techpowerup states the 5070 mobile has 8gb storage. The listing on Newegg appears to contain an error.
