    Sustained TDP: why two RTX 4060 laptops differ by 20% in the same game

    Because "RTX 4060" specifies the chip, not the power it is allowed to draw. NVIDIA rates the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU from 35 W to 115 W of total graphics power, plus up to 25 W more via Dynamic Boost. A 115 W laptop and a 140 W laptop carry the same GPU name and the same sticker, but the higher-power machine sustains materially more performance in long sessions.

    Does a 5-star AC actually pay for itself? The three-year running-cost maths

    No, not within three years. Upgrading from a 3-star (ISEER 3.80) to a 5-star (ISEER 5.10) 1.5-tonne inverter AC saves about 276 kWh a year at BEE’s 1,600-hour test usage — roughly ₹2,208 at ₹8/kWh. Against a ₹17,500 price premium that is a 7.9-year payback. The 5-star unit only pays back inside six years if you run it 2,000 hours a year or more.
