Disclaimer: I've ordered it, but haven't yet received it. So some if this is inference based on other reviews. If you want something built well, portable, got some guts and has a reasonable warranty/support story - consider the Lenovo Thinkpad X13 AMD. It maxes out to 32Gb DDR4 with a Ryzen 7 4750U. It's got a 13.3" screen and weighs 1.3kg. Personally speaking, I was in the market for a portable machine with 32gb memory (was not initially considering AMD). I considered the Dell XPS 13" (32gb variant was insanely expensive in Aus at $5.2k just for the unit), the X1 Carbon (maxes out at 16gb of ddr3), and the T14 AMD (a bit too chunky). When none of these were viable I considered the Macbook 13 (a bit more $, but a horrid keyboard despite beautiful screen), and the System76 Lemur (strongly considered it, but the support story in Australia was a bit of a risk for my daily driver). When Lenovo had a sale on the X13 AMD, let's just say I could buy it + 4yr warranty + a dock for less than half the cost of the Dell/Apple, and have twice the cores. Compromises were: a fairly pedestrian screen vs other Lenovo models or Apple/Dell, no thunderbolt, and needing to pull the trigger on it when there were literally zero reviews of this device on the internet. Jury is still out on the battery life too.
