> I just order this laptop to get my hand on a tiger lake H45 8C and do some testing.
> I don't see any gain in graphic part with this 45W CPU against 4C 25-35W variants, but CPU perf should help a lot in hungry CPU gaming titles like cyberpunk
> To me, this device is to heavy and bulky to be a daily portable laptop
> two other thing bothers me : TB4 port don't allow charging the device and 48W battery on this variant when some gets 80W (why in hell !)
> On performance side, for it price it's nice as i7 11800H can run longtime @75-80W without too much fan noise
> 3050 Ti can help when you're on the go
