I prefer iGPU solutions as well (primarily for better battery life, less potential driver issues, and hopefully weight savings) but one thing you tend to lose is cooling headroom. Most of the iGPU only designs end up with single-fan single-heatpipe cooling for U chips designed for 25-35W of heat dissipation. As a point of comparison, the Asus G14, which has a 6800H allows you to get up to 75-80W sustained CPU on its Turbo setting! https://www.ultrabookreview.com/53935-asus-zephyrus-g14-ga402-review/ https://www.ultrabookreview.com/53935-asus-zephyrus-g14-ga40...
The G14 is 1.65kg, which isn't the lightest, but is actually the exact same weight as Asus's upcoming iGPU-only 6800H/6900HX Vivobook S 14X: https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Home/Vivobook/Vivobook-S-14X-OLED-M5402-AMD-Ryzen-6000-Series/ https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Home/Vivobook/Vivobook-S-14...
