HP’s Omen Transcend 14 weighs just 3.5 pounds while packing up to an RTX 4070 GPU.
I’m sure it’s great for people that want something like this, but it should be illegal for laptop makers to claim it has a 4070 inside, when it’s almost certainly a cut-down 4070, so they can limit TDP and not melt the laptop.
The lightest, this makes makes me think, what actually constitutes a gaming laptop, I have an old Intel 530 laptop, I can play Abe’s Oddysee on it, and probably fallout, which makes it a gaming laptop, why do gamers chase the latest hardware when for mere cents they can get a good experience, an experience which was a dream to many.
For me, a gaming laptop is with a dedicated GPU, for gaming.
But what even IS a dedicated GPU, as far as I know, the small chip on you CPU only does graphics calculations.
You might say: “but it’s soldered to the cpu”, but in a laptop everything is soldered, and even share the same RAM sometimes. (or always, IDK much about laptops)
It’s just marketing terms and they carry zero weight (lol) or reasoning anymore. Best to ignore anything a company says and just look at the hardware and its use case. Companies will continue to lie to consumers and nothing will change that
