The 2080 Max-Q only exists in ~$3000 gaming laptops. Poor battery life, 4lb+ laptops.
I have an ASUS Zephyrus G14.
1680g(3.7lb) as checked just a minute ago using a kitchen scale. I don't know about battery life because I capped the charging at 80% and it still lasts a whole day of normal usage if need be. MSRP ~$1,500 in the US.
I don't think it's remotely so simple.
If you compare it to the Ryzen 4xxx mobile CPUs it checks out - performance increase is roughly as expected given the difference in feature size.
- bfgoodrich 6y agoA disclaimer on your battery life: that is doing literally nothing with the 2080. Effectively turning it off and carrying it around as an extra cost/weight for nothing. Because the moment you use that 2080, your battery life will be South of 3 hours with a 100% charge and a factory new battery. You'll also have a jet engine fan and a leg burning device. Which is the point.
- Tade0 6y agoI have a whole day on battery for normal usage, and competent gaming performance when I plug it in. The M1 offers only one of these things.
- bfgoodrich 6y agoA 4lb laptop that needs to be a desktop to use its primary selling point isn't an attractive proposition. And to be clear, I've had several in my history of computing. They were always a disappointment. Then I just started gaming on a dedicated desktop and stopped compromising everything else "just in case".
