The elephant in the room is the high peak power consumption. This is over and above the previous peak power draw of around 90W. As a result, I believe ADL based laptops will cost more for beefier VRMs and components on motherboard, and also better cooling solution.
Battery life is expected to be better only because the e-cores will help alleviate the high power draw from the performance cores. But if one is using it for things like video editing on the go, I think the laptop will run out of juice very quickly.

What AA setting is used for the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark? I have an ASUS ROG Stryx with a Ryzen 5900HX and a 3070 and just now scored 115fps average at 1920x1080/Highest/SMAAT2x, which is, strangely, higher than every score shown here.

I was disappointed that the proprietary crap isn't called out more often. I'm glad I noticed the power connection before I decided on this one.

I won't buy any hardware with ridiculous proprietary crap.MSI should pay attention what happened to Packard Bell. They are just getting started down that path. This is insane:
Amazon.com: JUYOON 280W USB Tip Charger for MSI GE66 GE76 Raider GP76 GP66 Leopard ADP-280BB B A18-280P1A S93-0409330-C54 Clevo X170SM-G X170KM-G (Not fit msi ge75 ge65 ge65, asus Laptop) : Electronics

$184 for a power adapter?! That's stupid!

Asus can kiss my backside to with their soldered in memory.


Looks like Gigabyte needs a shot this time around.
