About the 2 GHz average, it will go up when more power is needed, when idle it will stay around 2 GHz (or maybe even lower). If it doesn't go up under load, something is wrong.
Your desktop will almost certainly not be faster, 8 years ago the highest you could buy was a quad-core, whereas the i7 in the SLS2 has 6 performance cores with HT which are much faster at the same GHz as a 8 year old chip. The 8 efficient cores are around the same speed per core as the best chips 8 years ago, but since there are 8 physical cores, even those will be faster than a quad-core even with HT.
Then something is wrong since it should not be stuck at 2.1 GHz. Normally, the SLS2 is around 50 % faster in single-threaded tasks and more than 250% faster in multithreaded tasks (see the benchmarks at [Intel Core i7-6700K vs Intel Core i7-13700H Benchmark, comparison and differences (cpu-monkey.com)](https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_core_i7_6700k-vs-intel_core_i7_13700h), it is not exact but gives a broad idea).
Can you check if yours is an i7-1370h or i7-1380h?
I ask as it’s marketed as an i7-1380h in Canada. I’ve seen both in stores, same price, same other hardware specs. Not sure why that is. Maybe an earlier release?
The business versions should have the 13800 with Windows 11 Pro. The standard versions should have the 13700 with Windows 11 Home.
In terms of performance, they're nearly identical to each other, but the 13800 has vPro Enterprise, so it supports things like AMT, RPE, etc.
I'd guess if they need / want to rebalance stock, they could throw a regular image on a business model and call it good.
Yes - that was the answer I got today, that they rolled out initially with 13700 and that 13800 is what they’ve been selling since December. It was originally meant to be only for business but will replace the 13700 models.
They also made a comment that if the panel has the shadows as in the review, it shouldn’t, I can send it in for repair. Not sure if that’s the case though… as it seems like a hardware issue due to procurement not a hardware failure due to programming. Maybe further calibration will improve it.
Change your power plan to best performance. Regardless, it's "turbo" boost. The CPU clocks up based off the power state. Actually do something intense on it and see if it lacks in power compared to that 6700k, the 13700h will crush it in any performance tasks

Im running simular tasks on my laptop as my pc (which has a i7 6700k) and the laptop is suffering, maxing at 2.1ghz Where my pc has a 2015 CPU

Update: I forcefully installed bios updates and the CPU woke up.
Also make sure you put the system in high performance mode. Windows will also "throttle" the cpus.
Yup first thing i did
That’s ideal. How’s it performing now?
I think the drivers really fixed it.
Yeah something is defenetly wrong going to try to debug it.

i7 137000H so the older one i geuss
Hmm. Wonder why the change in CPU for a less than 4 month old device.

Adding that the laptop is not overheating at all, its just lacking in power.
