My Zephyrus G14 could do that too while running Visual Studio. AMD's mobile chips are also pretty efficient and Windows laptops are not as far off from Macbooks in terms of battery life as people think.

Are 12+ hours of intense work realistic on those devices?

12 is a stretch but the person I replied to said 8 hours which is pretty doable. I was working on building a game engine in Visual Studio which is something I'd consider intense. Granted my model is the 2021 version and AMD has made greater strides in efficiency since, I wouldn't be surprised if the newer models can go a bit longer.
