Advice needed buying a G14 as a companion device

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a compact OLED laptop as a companion device to my 4090 desktop. I know a G14 is probably overkill but the whole aeathetic, buildquality and formfactor really appeal to me.

I've got 2 options:

\- €2000 for a new 5060/16GB configuration (probably sufficient for my needs due to the fact that intensive gaming sessions will still happen on my desktop or streamed FROM my desktop to the laptop).

\- €2500 for a second hand, but like new 5070TI/32GB configuration. Obviously a better device, obviously more expensive, but all thing considered I suspect it being a better value despite that. I probably won't be pushing it to it's limits too often though, but still nice for when I do need the performance & it'll probably hold it's value longer/can be resold better.

What do you guys think is the wiser decision?

Any other thoughts are very welcome as well.

Thanks in advance!

Budget: €2500

Country: Netherlands

Usecase: Mixed

Notes: Help :)
