There is a lot of generalization and assumption there, whilst you can go up to 140w you can actually do more with a lot less and in T&L machine, something like say a G14, the 5070Ti is capped at 90-110w, the CPU has 4 Zen5 and 8 lower power Zen5c, so all depends on your work flow and what you are doing, any video stuff for example even a 5060 would batter Strix Halo blimey the 5050 in my Gram would give it a run for its money, it is all about knowing what you are using, how you want to use it and having the right tool for the job, same goes for battery life, again my laptop as a dev machine is shown to last longer on battery than a Macbook despite larger screen etc and being lighter, it may not be more efficient, it does this as a byproduct of having a larger battery
but do you care if you get a lighter more portable machine that last longer, nope. Again, it’s about knowing your goals and buying the tool that fits those.This is why when the OP is asking, the suggestions given are what are you doing with it, that is the only way you can get to the right answer which is probably an Apple device, but alternatives were asked for.
Strix Halo is awesome, I want this quite bad as some one who wants a light machine that can do a lot of gaming with little power, basically for me I need to run all the things off of my travel charger, the one charger to rule them all
it tops out at 100w per port, but Strix halo is not the right tool for everything and certainly not at its price, it opens itself up to lots of competition, particularly if you have a gaming slant.
