I returned an intel ultra laptop, as non ultra are significantly faster. The ultra's are just lower power hungry. Big deal.
Shouldn't matter on a thin and light as they thermal throttle. That extra power would be negligible. Iris xe vs the new arc for encoding and other tasks that require a little more GPU grunt will benefit more than a 13 or 14 series cpu. Regarding your comment on the extra power being a 'big deal,' it sounds like you're emphasizing the trade-off between power consumption and performance, which is a valid discussion in choosing the right laptop. Let's keep this discussion informative and friendly, as we all benefit from sharing insights!

Let's keep the discussion information and friendly? No thanks Dad.
If it were me, I would wait for further discounts on Intel ultra 5 and 7 based laptops. The iris Xe graphics are very dated and the new arc integrated GPUs are a huge jump forward.
Just remember, no matter what you do, whatever command you try to run, trying to fix it in the bios, this laptop only has Balanced power mode and no high performance anywhere. MSI verified this as well.
Balanced has some extra sauce, so you wouldn't wanna use high performance anyway.

What is ultra 5 and 7 ?

Is it worth the extra 100 or not really?
