i chose my laptop based mainly on reviews by https://www.notebookcheck.net/ and https://www.ultrabookreview.com/
i like having a database of detailed reviews that allow me to do apples to apples comparisons between different models tested using same methodology
but mine is an RTX 4090 gaming laptop. i don't know how relevant performance torture tests and thermal images are for your use case.
my main issue with the first RTX 4090 laptop i got was that i kept burning my hand on it while playing because it got so hot during game play - i had to return it and do proper research before getting a replacement that included thermal images of the keyboard under load with temperature measurements at WASD keys.
by swapping from Acer Triton 17X to Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 i was able to get less throttling, quieter fans AND keyboard temps went from scorching hot to barely warm ( all at the same time ) - a huge improvement well worth the ASUS tax for me.
and worth the lengthy research.
