Nvidia reduced the baseline minimum TDP of Max-Q Turing GPUs when compared to last generation Max-Q Pascal GPUs. The result is that more laptops can now run the RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU, but the performance gap between it and the RTX 2070 Max-Q can be surprisingly narrow.

Well this is not good news for consumers! They're gonna have to use sites like notebookcheck to make sure they're buying a notebook that performs at the expected levels, they can't rely on the name of the RTX GPU to make performance decisions. Consumers are gonna get duped and pay more than they need to for under-performing products if they don't do specific research on their model of laptop.
That Zephyrus with the 2080 though!
Unfortunately I want a laptop I can use on my lap from time to time *sighs*
I wonder how the RB 2019 RTX 2080 MQ performs?
This is not meaningful because the 2070 gpu was in a different laptop brand than any of the 2080 gpus. The 2080 results show that different laptop brands give different results. So the results would be accurate only if the Razer 2070 was compared to a Razer 2080.
