Not HiDPI, but the ThinkPad T14 AMD is a pretty good business laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 Pro. Also with extensible memory and replaceable NVMe SSD as a cherry on top. There is also the less extendable but slimmer T14s. Source: I own a T14 AMD. I am pretty happy with it after 13 years of MacBooks and returning a MacBook Air M1. With 8 cores it's fast for development and the fan is not very loud (nowhere near as loud as Intel MacBooks),

Lucky you, but they don't want my money. Lenovo does not sell ANY AMD-equipped Thinkpad in Spain as of right now because they are all sold out [1]. The Ryzen 7 version in particular was sold out a mere 1 week after launch and hasn't been available since. To add insult to injury, they have announced 5 new thinkpads (X1 Titanium Yoga, X12 Detachable, X1 Yoga Gen6, X1 Nano, X1 Carbon Gen9) but all of them are intel-based.

  Lucky you, but they don't want my money. Lenovo does not sell ANY AMD-equipped Thinkpad in Spain That's frustrating. I am in the Netherlands and when I decided to buy it, I picked it up the next day. It's also in stock now: https://www.coolblue.nl/product/862275/lenovo-thinkpad-t14-20ud001amh.html https://www.coolblue.nl/product/862275/lenovo-thinkpad-t14-2... Interestingly, it's now 60 Euro more expensive than when I bought it. I guess the new lockdown drives prices up due to people working from home?

How is Linux with it now in 2021. I'm currently not needing a new laptop, having the T25 and just replaced a US keyboard to it, it'll be great for the next 10-15 years. But, if I need a laptop from the company, I'd definitely look into the AMD series of ThinkPads, if I could get a good Arch Linux experience with it.

  With a 5.10 kernel, everything works perfectly fine (at least everything I use). Note that I use Debian bullseye. It's much much less noisy that my work laptop T480s. The fans don't run too often, and I find them very discreet.

I recently received the ThinkPad P14s AMD (same as T14) that I ordered back in November. I only paid about $800 US for this, with some corporate discounts that most people can easily find. Comparing it to my Macbook, I'm pleasantly surprised. It's only 1080p, but I really don't mind it at all because it's matte instead of glossy. And the keyboard is pure bliss compared to just about anything. > with extensible memory and replaceable NVMe SSD Not only that, but there is a WWAN slot that you can add an additional NVMe drive to. You can find 512GB 2242 form factor drives on AliExpress for about $50. There are 1GB ones for about $100. That's my current experiment. Hoping to dual boot Windows and Linux. But this thing has an ethernet port. In 2021. And all the other ports you'll ever need. Mine came with an Intel Wi-Fi 6 card installed in a slot which would appear can be upgraded or replaced as well. Just insane utility. I even like the soft feel of the case more than the cold aluminum of the Macbook.
