Interesting that the FW13 is the least efficient Ryzen laptop (by far) in terms of power consumption. The Acer Swift wins hands down in terms of efficiency, but clearly suffers on the performance front. The P14s, however, has a lower peak wattage despite being on par, performance-wise, with the FW13.
The repairable design definitely has some drawbacks, but i rather have a 90% machine that can be upgraded than a 100% machine i need to buy New every 5 years or so.
Soldered parts are often, if not always more efficient and the P14s (which I have at work) has soldered ram, which greatly improves efficiency
