Looking for a high-end gaming laptop with 9955HX3D, RTX 5080+ and no major drawbacks

Hi,

I’ve been trying to find a replacement for my PC for some time, but I’m having trouble finding the right laptop because every high-end model seems to have some kind of drawback. There are a few things that are particularly important to me:

• I want a display with low response times, as I mainly play fast-paced FPS games such as Apex Legends, Deadlock, CS, and Valorant.
• I want good thermals and, ideally, no CPU or GPU thermal throttling. It would also be preferable if the WASD area didn’t get excessively hot during gaming.
• I specifically want the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, as it seems to be significantly faster in gaming than the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. 
• The laptop should have at least an RTX 5080.
   

I’ve already looked at several models:

• Lenovo Legion 7 Pro – On paper, this laptop looks great, but the CPU temperatures are honestly quite concerning. 100°C while gaming? And these weren’t even synthetic benchmarks such as Cinebench — it reached those temperatures while playing Cyberpunk 2077...
• ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 – This laptop initially looked very promising, but its display seems to suffer from some kind of strange flickering caused by a conflict between the backlight strobing and synchronization technology. You can see the effect in Linus’ video here: https://youtu.be/mpDanDwd7x0?t=168. Apparently, this can potentially cause headaches during longer gaming sessions.
• I also looked at laptops with external liquid cooling from Dream Machines and XMG. However, it seems that these models are available with displays that have relatively slow response times, making them less suitable for fast-paced games due to noticeable ghosting.

Are there any other laptops currently on the market that I might have overlooked that could meet these requirements?
