I think the specs are already pretty competitive with Macbook Pro -- the only thing it doesn't have is a discrete GPU.

Unfortunately I'd guess they won't use an AMD CPU anytime soon because I don't think we know how to 'purify' it, at least with Intel we can try to disable ME.

I disagree. The only option is an Intel HD Graphics 620 with an HDMI port (!) which can’t even host an external 4k monitor @ 60hz…

I also mentioned AMD CPU for a good reason as Nvidia is poorly supported by modern Wayland compositors.

The wireless card is also Atheros 802.11n with no a/c support.

Librem 15 is very much a mid-tier laptop.
