Look at the Thinkpad T14 / T14s Gen 3. Doesn't have a high-res display though...

I worry that 14" would be a bit small for me, this would (probably) be for a desktop replacement so screen real estate really matters (right now I'm using an x220 with a tiny 12.5" screen and its the main reason Im looking to change).

The T14s has a 2880x1800, OLED, 500nit, wide color gamut, 90hz, screen option. It's probably the best screen you can get on a laptop right now: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T14s_Gen_3_AMD/ThinkPad_T14s_Gen_3_AMD_Spec.PDF https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T... The T14 has a 4K IPS option: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T14_Gen_3_AMD/ThinkPad_T14_Gen_3_AMD_Spec.PDF https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T... With that and USB4 the AMD Lenovos seem to be finally uncorked. At this point the Intel-only X1 is suffering as a supposedly top of the line laptop. The chassis is slightly better and that's about its only advantage.

  Where did you even get those links? When I go to lenovos's website I and filter byt processor I cannot actually find any laptops with these specs to order... So maybe these are only available for businesses to order? Or they are not available yet???

    The Lenovo websites are really hard to navigate and I think they also use them to steer people into specific configurations they've probably batch produced. I just spec based on the PDFs and then ask a distributor for a quote. It sucks as a buying experience. To find the PDFs you can navigate psref.lenovo.com. Pick the model and go to the specifications tab. You can just see the content there or click the PDF link to get to the file. And even that website is not always fully updated. Sometimes the distributor can already configure something they haven't published the specs for. Yet another thing they could make 10x better and end up selling more because of it.
