Some ppl dont need the power and prefers the under 3lb weight. Under 3lbs for a 16" is crazy light u know. Sure you can get a chunky 16" thats more powerful, but with laptops portability comes at a cost too.

Not every laptop is a gaming laptop. Plus, the 7840U's graphic capabilities are actually very good. The Z1 Extreme chip in the higher model ROG Ally is just a modified version of this chip with slightly more wattage; same graphics cores.

All the few non-gaming laptops with Zen4 U/H Apus are capped with soldered 16GB RAM with no upgrade option. Is it so hard to implement 32GB?

Yes it is. Probably because people who are buying these u laptops don't usually need 32gb.

Nice to see some 780M laptops, those are about twice as fast as Iris Xe.

16 GB is plenty for probably any user who is wanting to use this device. Alsop you're not going to find many (if any?) 32 GB options under $1k like this at all.

I've been rocking 16 GB for years between desktop and laptop and never had any issues and thats with a ton of excel sessions and chrome tabs open on the laptop even. I think 32 GB is only useful for a very very small subset of the population for devices like this.

This looks like it would be amazing paired with an EGPU. Has anyone tried running one with USB4?

I'm trying to figure out which of these brands are voltage limited by bios or hardware. These could turn out to be interesting laptops with that 780M lying there staring at you.

How can it be twice? Definitely not. Better than a iris yes, about 50% at most
It can be twice because it offers almost twice performance in most Graphics application. What kind of logic was that and how you have come to that 50% logic? Go and check some benchmarkss.
