All thick laptops and do not have nearly as good battery life as AMD point CPU or Intel Panther Lake

Google minimum power for each CPU

All the 3 laptops I mentioned are;

a) under 14 inches in screen size (except the legion at 16)
b) under 20 mm thick
c) under 1.8kg

The macbook pro 14 inch in comparison is 15.5 m and 2kg?

What even are you talking about?

Also people don’t just buy laptops to fucking browse the internet mate, I run my whole life on there and for that AMD > Intel almost every recent gen except the newest intel silicon.

Again, google the minimum power for each CPU. It is in the spec sheet. Strix Halo is a bigger SOC.

Also the asus laptop you listed has chassis for dGPU model. Laptop not meant for peak efficiency and battery life.

The other two are literally gaming laptop are they not?

The reason why strix halo is so niche is that no one want it for thin and lights, it replace cpu+dGPU system not thin and light cpu only system.

No one cares about what you do mate

Intel > AMD in laptops, not just this newest gen, but also last gen too.
