It might seem like nitpicking but I'm actually on your side here, as a consumer. It's been a struggle to find a 1440 AMD laptop, I have one that I'm happy with for travel. (Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Carbon Gen 6) I also don't want it to be too big, for travel, so numpad is out for me. The Slim 7 feels like a toy, but it's actually just very, very light, and made of plastic. It creeks, yes, but it's very, very light. This is more important to me when it's on my back, than being out of metal.

Tuxedo Computers sells the Pulse 15 with a centered keyboard, 1440p 165Hz screen, and AMD CPU+iGPU. Pretty nice laptop, except the integrated microphone is a bit shit.

  These are also Clevo rebrands and I find mostly pretty poor user reviews.

    The Pulse 15 Gen 2 is actually a refresh of the Tong Fang (not Clevo) PF5NU1G (that fixes most of the major complaints I had with the original version (multi-monitor support, better & brighter display, dual M.2 slots). I was quite happy with mine, as were almost all the user reviews I read (Here's mine: https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2020-MECHREVO-Code-01-PF5NU1G https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2020-MECHREVO-Code-...).

  They sold it, the Tuxedo 15 gen2 has a full sized keyboard, too big for me.

Check out the Asus Rog zephyrus g14 [1]. I have the 2021 version (which is only FHD) and it's quite light and runs cool. 1. https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g14-2023-series/ https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g14-2...

  Very impressive, but too much gaming focus for my needs. I work mostly in devops.

    It is a gaming laptop, but you don't have to use it for games - I rarely do. In my experience, though, gaming laptops have the best build quality after business ones like ThinkPads (which were above my budget). They used to be very heavy and unwieldy, but that's changed now.
