The Asus G series has great cooling, and good keyboards. Battery is great on the AMD CPU version, but you cannot get any semblance of battery life with the GPU active for long periods. Community linux support is also pretty good through the asus-rog community (check out their discord), which I would highly recommend for testing generative AI. My 2020 G14 is still kicking, no swolen battery or anything (though I ended up building an tiny "portable" 3090 desktop in a Node 202 for AI). If portability is a priority and price is not, Asus has somehow stuffed a mobile 4090 (aka a desktop 4080 die) into one of the new 14" G14 SKUs. Also, if you are in the US, they regularly go for deep discounts in Best Buy, specifically. No idea why: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?id=pcat17071&sp=Best-Discount&st=zephyrus https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?id=pcat17071&sp=...
