I stopped using WCCFtech because of their idiotic and useless comments, I prefer Tomshardware and AnandTech. Whenever WCCFtech put a new article, you instantly see tons of useless and stupid comments spamming.
Exactly that. These days it feels less like a tech site and more like a recruiting / trolling ground for the worst parts of the internet. Even the worst comments here pale by comparison - probably because it's harder to do instantaneous responses and impossible to post images here.
Do you know why the Zephirus G14 will use NVidia discrete graphics? Will there be issues when switching between iGPU and dGPU? Will both Nvidia an AMD drivers need to be installed? The iGPU of the 4800H should perform close to the 1050 (discrete, non-mobile): I understand that the 2060 is noticeably more powerful, but I would prefer why no "H" CPU will be in a laptop without discrete graphic card?
iGPU of 4800H will only perform similar to curent Vega11, because in Renoir APU has only 8 Vega CUs, albeit at higher clocks. So, comparable to MX230 or maybe MX250 if coupled with DDR4 3200 or quadchannel LPDDR4, but nowhere close to 1050.
There are already a bunch of laptops with AMD APUs and Nvidia GPUs - the 3750H and 1660Ti seem to be a popular combination.
AFAIK: Yes, you need both AMD and Nvidia drivers. No, there aren't any more issues than there are with an Nvidia dGPU and an Intel iGPU - i.e. it's mostly fine, but every once in a while the Nvidia driver forgets to power up the dGPU fully, or forgets to power it down after you're done.
I think they imagine, if your buying a 45W part, your looking for power not battery life. So might as well go all out. I'm sure there will be one sooner or later without dGPU, but none at release.
And I think they chose nVidia over their Radeon cards because they still win a performance per watt, and probably provide easier thermals to cool with the bigger chip.

Pair that fancy ROG 14" laptop with discrete GPU like 2070S and price it decently: ultrawinyankeeDDL - Tuesday, January 7, 2020 - link

Plus, the 15W Variants can be configured into 25W variants, with around the same performance and more CU's.They said they don't think there will be 25W configurations, but makers could introduce a bios flag.

It's a bigger deal than a bios flag, lol.
