geohot: "I want a laptop with a high-end AMD chip, great Linux power management, good docs, solid build, and a normal name" My brother in christ, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 AMD exists. Zen 5, aluminum chassis, legendary Linux support, actual power state documentation. They been doing this for 30 years. Dude, you're bikeshedding a product that's been sitting in the enterprise aisle this whole time ThinkPads have been the Linux laptop for decades precisely because of the things he's wishing for. Public ACPI/power management docs, upstream kernel support, and AMD options with sane power profiles. He even admits the ZBook touchpad is fine but fails to acknowledge ThinkPads have had excellent trackpoints + multi-touchpads since forever.

Link to the one that's so great, especially a Macbook contender? He has a $2000+ Thinkpad X1 and it was basically his least favorite one in his lineup from last week except for the Framework's bad display: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M96O0Sn1LXA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M96O0Sn1LXA The snark doesn't seem warranted. Edit: The laptop you're talking about is also 14" 1920x1200 or am I lost in Lenovo's awful website? A 14" Macbook is 3024x1964. The more I look, the worse it gets, especially after you hyped it like that.

I recently replaced my aging X1C7 with a T14s AMD and it has been quite nice!

  They really are nice machines. The p series are even better. I'm using a P14s Gen 6 AMD as my daily driver and it is just a fabulous little machine

Not sure what laptop you confused it with, but T14s Gen 5 is sold with Intel CPUs only.
