  1. Please in future videos include some audio production tests such as latency and throw in some plugins in a Daw to see the CPU loads and compare. There's nothing for the audio guys on Ytube and if you include this everytime it'll become the place to go for us.

  2. Well correct me if I am wrong but at the time you recorded the video the price difference is about $1,200 cheaper AMD so I guess "normal" consumers will go for AMD and "pros" that do not mind the price difference might go for Intel

  3. 1:25
    Intel at 150W equals Ryzen at 75W. For a laptop, you don't want to run your CPU at 150W, as that's a laptop not a toaster!
    I'd limit the TDP at 75W for the CPU or even 65W.

  4. Why is the battery time on AMD one so much worse than the Intel one?? Especially since in perf/watt AMD was clearly ahead.
    I wonder if it had something to do with the screen differences on the two laptops?

  5. Why is so hard to say: AMD is better. I am not some brand fanboy, but it's more than obvious that AMD is better and costs "only" 1400$ less. Is every single YT review on Intel's pay role?

  6. I would love to have the 7945HX in a scar 16 than the scar 17, it’s just a mini led screen in the scar 16 is just better to my eyes and it only comes exclusively with the 13980HX and it doesn’t have the option for Ryzen sadly.

  7. is it wierd,when amd uses less power from the wall and gives better performance but sucks on the battery although the performance is not bad?
