The issue with AMD laptops is availability and the mixing of generations under similar SKU numbers. There’s only a handful of Zen4 laptops in the wild, and they’re mixed in with Zen2 and Zen3 parts, leading to a confusing experience for the average buyer. So, people will either go for an Intel laptop, or find an Nvidia dGPU laptop for the ‘upgrade’.
Steamdeck’s and ROG Ally’s have completely changed the math on these more premium USFF PCs. If it’s only going to be couple hundred more to get similar performance, that convenience of a portable can easily tip the scales in their favour.
DLSS is why I bought a 4060 over a 7600. Mostly play e-sports games, so the cache offsets the bandwidth loss from a 3060, while DLSS is much better than FSR at going from 720p -> 1440p, as I wanted the increase over 1080p for daily usage.
You can also do this with Nvidia and AMD GPUs, kinda the whole way laptops work to conserve battery is to just shut off the dGPU when not in use.
