RBS 2019 intel iris vs GTX 1650 with disabled dGPU battery performance

I’m interested in getting the RBS 2019 with the intel iris integrated GPU. My main goals are having a powerful computer that can last me for a while and has decent battery life (8 hours or so) with normal use. My use case is NOT gaming on the go. I’m thinking of pairing this computer with an eGPU for gaming. Points for the intel iris: - 25W CPU - Longer battery life - Better thermal profile, does not get as hot as the full GTX 1650 version. My question is whether I am doing myself a disservice by not getting the GTX 1650 version, seeing as how its just $100 more (with bigger HD too). I know the dGPU can be disabled, but can I expect to see similar power consumption as the intel iris version if I disable the dGPU most of the time? I’m seeing mixed results on this with reviews since everyone seems to have a different battery testing methodology. Planning to run linux on this, if that matters.
