Help Choosing (self.gaminglaptops)

Hi, I have the option to buy either of the laptops on the picture at the same price. That is the only difference between them, GPU and display.

What would you suggest, the 4090 with worse display or the 4080 with the better display?

EDIT: I finally bought the 4080 version, thanks to everyone for their input, it helped a lot.

It depends on what you plan on doing with it.
Personally, I would go with the 4090 since it's the best mobile GPU out there and 165 Hz is fast enough for 99% of people. The lower resolution is a bit of a downgrade, but at that scale you most likely won't notice much of a difference.

Thank you for your input, I'm having a hard time making a choice.
