Is a 4070 GPU laptop equivalent to a 4060 GPU desktop?

[Sc8808]

So I am thinking of upgrading my current laptop (1050 GPU) to a 4070 GPU or 4080 GPU Laptop:

 

I have these on the list now:

 

MSI Stealth 14 AI Studio OLED Gaming Laptop 14" QHD+ 120Hz Intel Ultra 9-185H GeForce RTX 4070 32GB 1TB SSD Windows 11 Home, A1VGG-040CA

or

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 Gaming Notebook 14" QHD AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS GeForce RTX 4080 16GB 1TB SSD Windows 11 Home, GA402XZ-CS94

 

Since I need to work outside sometimes... I need a powerful laptop to help me handle the 3d work...but my concern is, that the laptop above might not be as powerful as the 4060 desktops...

May I suggest not watching ShortCircuit & LTT for laptop suggestions?

Meanwhile you got other brands which offer 140W TGP for the RTX 4070.

Why even compare against a desktop card if you’re looking at laptops?

How realistically are you even working on GPU heavy tasks when away from a wall socket?

 

When you get into the 14” size, you need to start considering not only TGP the manufacturers claim, but also cooling capacity. Check reviewers like jarrodstech or see if notebookcheck has a published review.

Off the wall, GPU power is usually even more limited, so despite reviews quoting max power draw most of the time, check for on battery settings too if you intend to use the system unplugged mostly.

Yes...you are right...I think I am too greedy...I want to spend the money for a laptop but expect the performance like a desktop...this is like a "You can't have your cake and eat it too" situation lol
