I don't get it why the 155h is ahead over iGpu rating....in real world use the 258v iGpu show 30-40% more framerates than the 155h

Gonna get the 155h for Roblox, netflix and YouTube, that oled is gonna look GREAT. ofc ima do an undervolt on the CPU since I use on my lap, 103C isn't something to be proud of.

Biggest benefit will be battery life, being way better than the previous generation.

Trying to choose between these two in a laptop purchase over the next week. Is there value to the Ultra 7 258V having NPU support and being Copilot+ certified for >40 TOPS? I.e., though having fewer cores and threads than the 155H, will the 258V be more future-proof for AI purposes? Thanks for any guidance.

To date no AI even for 100 series NPU support nor 200 series... I feel scammed lol

There's a way to install localised AI(Local Stablediffusion and Local LLM) for the PCs even with iGpu only but i never see anything of these run on the intel NPU unit especially the Intel Playground only uses the Arc iGpu in local AI progress

Has more advantages over Ultra 7 258V. Though 258V is newer than 155H, instead of being upgraded from all aspects, it got downgraded in necessary aspects like, multi-core performance, graphics performance, mainly no. of course (from 16 straight down to 8!!!), etc...

how ever its battery efficiency got upgraded. Plus 258v's iGpu is better than 155h's iGpu . 258v's iGpu can do better than 155h's iGpu in intense works like gaming. You can search it up on youtube.

guy, These are my same thoughts ... I love gaming... And for once with 125u I'm able to travel without having to carry my gaming pc and still play with my primary laptop lol... My next laptop should be the 200 series but with dual fans
