Even then you wouldn't though. AMD says the Max+ 395 can sustain 120W and boost upto 140W. That's not really much less than most 5060s do paired with a Ryzen 7 or Ultra 7. I have an Omen Transcend 14 with a Meteor Lake Ultra 7 and a 4060. The total power budget for them is ~85W because the laptop is

TLDR; I’m in the middle of a similar situation and it’s a tough choice giving up MacOS, great Mac build quality, and superior battery life, in return for better gaming performance, Windows, and worse battery life. It is a difficult decision. Good luck OP. I’m in the same boat, I just want one device

Hp omen transcend 14. Best of both world. Doesn't looks like a gaming laptop. Gorgeous oled display and around 7-8 hour battery on normal igpu mode Aluminum alloy build and is not that heavy compared to other gaming laptop (only 1.6kg)

As someone who own both an Omen Transcend 14 (Core Ultra 9 185h/RTX 4070) as well as an Asus laptop (Rog Strix G16, Core Ultra 9 275hx/5070ti) I can't in good faith recommend an Asus device as I had to have my entire motherboard replaced just 2 months after purchase due to it completely dying (cover

I almost always stick to gaming laptops. For someone with your requirements I'd actually recommend something like the HP Omen Transcend 14 (my configuration is a Core Ultra 9 185h/RTX 4070 paired with a 2880x1800 120hZ OLED display). I recommend it bc it's thin, light, has excellent build quality as

I use a HP Omen Transcend 14" for work, travel and study and I love it. For context, I'm not a student I'm an IT professional so I do tend to keep it plugged in and it is frequently docked as well to a pair of docking monitors so be mindful that may colour my experience a bit. Overall though the 16:

Macbook udah menang di poin 1, 2, dan 4. Gw pribadi sebetulnya dulu mau beli Macbook Air M3 16/512. Cuma ngeliat HP Omen Transcend 14 (16/1024) diharga yg sama dan bisa buat jalanin LLM juga pula karena pake GPU Nvidia (gw kerja di IT RnD, lagi sering riset seputar AI) akhirnya nggak jadi beli Macbo

There aren't that many laptops that would fit your needs very well, but I can list a few alternatives: - HP Omen Transcend 14: This one is special because it can run at full power on usb charging unlike any other laptop with a dedicated gpu. The build quality is similar to a Zephyrus but with a plas

Don't be a hater. Mac's are league ahead from windows except gaming. In fact, they are damn capable of playing games, its just the developers are not enthusiast to develop games for mac. For your information, in last couple of years, i had razer blade 14, alienware x16, HP Omen Transcend 14. They ar
