Sigh.
The main points I look at a laptop by are keyboard, trackpoint, then display quality, then the rest. I couldn't care less about the Ryzen part; the keyboard looks abysmal.
- CiTyBear 6y agoI agree. What made me use macbook for years is their touchpad. Do you have recommandation of linux compatible laptop with good keyboard and touchpad ?

- rurban 6y agoGot one, can confirm. The older Ryzen blows everything else away, but you need Fedora. Debian sucks.

- Filligree 6y agoThe keyboard is critically important for me as well, but you should care about the Ryzen. Power usage is dramatically lower than the equivalent Intel chip, to the degree the latter exists. In addition to the CPU just being much faster overall, these also come with a Vega iGPU with half a gigabyte of dedicated memory. It won't play Half-Life 4, but I've always noticed Intel chips being laggy and hot if hooked up to a screen with any sort of resolution, or if trying to run e.g. Factorio. Neither of those are a problem here.
