I'm joining the discussion late, but can convey my experience with HP Omen 16 (Advantage Edition). My primary requirement was full sizes cursor keys, and the PgUp/Down, Home/End/Insert/Delete keys. Proper keys are essential for developers. The keyboard is very good. The laptop has a full set of I/O (including 3 USB-A connectors). AMD Advantage Edition has proper Linux driver support (no nVidia), and the built in Vega is OK for low power mode. However, the laptop is not without it's flaws. The power supply is a chunky brick, there is a driver bug with the Elan Touchpad (so you're constantly hitting Fn-F11 to disable/reneable touch pad when you dont have a mouse), and the dolts put a Pause key where Delete is (and put delete on top row, to the right of power button). The designer should be hit with a bag of potatoes, it's idiotic. Otherwise, great silent laptop, works well in Windows 11, Linux and even Haiku (minus an ACPI powerup delay, but once it finally boots, it flies). 7 out of 10. (-1 for Pause/Delete/Power key placement, -1 for Elan Touchpad drivers, and -1 for placing 4 stupid stickers on the palm rest area). 7 out of 10 may look low, however I'd give other laptops an even lower score. My old 2014 MacBookPro would get 8 out of 10, and that is the best laptop I ever had. Sadly, not suitable in 2022.
