It is not clear why the results are

Reviews of the Asus Zephyrus G14 (2023) gaming laptop have appeared on the Web for a long time, but mostly they were reviews of the top version with the RTX 4090 Laptop. The author of Jarrod’sTech channel decided to test the version with RTX 4060 Laptop and Ryzen 9 7940HS, which is much more affordable. And I discovered one very interesting feature related to energy consumption.

As you can see, the autonomy of the laptop when using a discrete graphics card is almost twice as high as when using an iGPU.

At the same time, an RTX 4060 Laptop with a power limit of 100-125 W is used here, and the entire Ryzen 9 7940HS with its iGPU Radeon 780M is characterized by a TDP of 35-54 W, although in reality, of course, it can consume more.

What caused such a strange situation with the iGPU is unclear, but the author notes that the situation was the same in the last generation of the laptop. 

Of course, no one will play on an iGPU instead of a discrete graphics card, but from a technical point of view, the results are strange. 

As for the rest, you can highlight the performance in games. The RTX 4060 Laptop, at these power limits, does an excellent job with modern games in Full HD and at the same time is not far behind the older models of video cards in its line.
