What are you doing that needs such a wide CPU and beefy GPU? That's a real narrow niche between GPU-heavy gaming laptops, and cheaper many-cored desktops.
I would love a 4900 with no dGPU, myself. (wide-CPU compile workloads) The iGPU in these is plenty for my portable needs, especially at 1440p.
Ideally we'd have good external GPU support, so we choose to hook it up to a real heavy-hitter.
- tracker1 6y agoDoes it really matter? The fact is, I use that much CPU/Ram for work tasks... and I'd like a 2070 as a baseline for the occasional gaming. Since AMD systems are likely 1-2 years away from seeing good, broad Thunderbolt support (probably aligned with USB4), eGPU isn't an option. AMD currently does more, with less power than the Intel counterparts in the upper end classes of systems. Find me a laptop with a 2070 Max Q that isn't at the higher price point that the AMD 4800H doesn't fit into.
