So I traded my gaming desktop for a gaming laptop. I checked everything before trading so I know things were good before trading, but I am a little confused. The desktop I had, had a gtx 1080 in it. The laptop I traded for is an Asus ROG G703GXR. The gpu it has in an RTX 2080. Now I was under the impression that gaming laptops are gonna have lower specs due to their....clears throat portability. Granted this is more portable than a desktop (which is why I was trading in the first place, my living situation had changed.) But when I compared the specs to the mobile 2080 on notebookchecks they weren't lining up, I then got curious and looked up the desktop 2080 and....it's close to the same? In fact slightly higher clocked than stock 2080's? Did Nvidia ramp up their laptop setup? Or was I just lucky in this trade? Like I'm scratching my head. From what I see this laptop in question is a fairly good one and that I lucked out in the trade. I wanna say I was lucky, but my luck is usually never that good. I was wanting some opinions or maybe more answers as I've been out of the mobile gpu loop for quite awhile. I did notice this laptop has 2x power bricks to run it as will. Just not as sure about the mobile gpu. Google has failed me on finding many answers other than specs and some reviews but seeing as this laptop cost a crap ton of money, far more than I had in my desktop honestly, it also seems reviews are far in between compared to.....lower cost alternatives.

In case the links don't work for some reason:
My laptop's specs per gpu-z are:
Shaders- 2944, Core- 1575Mhz- 1755Mhz (Boost) though I think I've seen higher as reported by the ROG Armory, Memory- 1750Mhz (I think this is low due to it being GDDR6 which would have a multiplier?), 256bit bus, 8GB GDDR6, Bandwidth- 448GB/s, ROPs/TMUs- 64/184, Pixel Fillrate- 112.3G pixel/s, Texture Fillrate- 322.9 G texel/s

Thanks for all the help! Like I said, I've been out of the laptop market for a couple of years so the more light shed, the better! And if you wish to know what I traded I'll go ahead and list it below. Also how would this RTX 2080 compare to a Desktop RTX 2070 super? Just wondering?
Desktop:
Ryzen 5 3600
16GB RAM
1TB Cheap Inland NVME SSD from Microcenter
3TB HDD
GTX 1080 FE Card
27" Asus ROG 2560x1440 g-sync 144HZ display
31.5" Asus 2560x1440 60 Display
No keyboard or mouse
Laptop I got:
Asus ROG G703GXR
Intel i7-9750H
32GB Ram
500GB NVME SSD (I put a 1TB Samsung 960 Pro in from my desktop), the 500GB went into a second slot of 3 in this laptop)
2TB 2.5"Seagate HDD (I put in a cheap 1TB 2.5" SSD in it's place from my desktop)
RTX 2080
17.3" 1080p 144HZ g-sync Display
I had a bag that would fit this laptop already due to having an older laptop that was rather big in the past.
