Not sure what you're trying to say but
Van gogh's tdp range is 4-15W
Z1e's tdp is 9-30W
Since these are amd's marketing tdp numbers, the actual limit would be 35% higher at 20W for van gogh and 40W for Z1e. Both handhelds have 40000Wh batteries and steam deck already dips below 1.5 hours with some games, meaning the screen, cooling and conversion losses add up to 6W.
If people continue to play their games at 800x1280x60 on the rog ally it will last longer but if they try utilizing the better screen and faster apu it will have much worse battery life. It needs stronger cooling or it will inevitably ruin hotter reducing battery efficiency, and it has a brighter&faster screen too.
You hit the nail. The screen difference realistically is what's taking the most amount of energy, it's the same thing on phones too. In this situation, the screen, while looks nicer, is a negative add for a console experience unless you're always plugged in.
