| Doing a search by laptop spec [1], there is exactly one laptop model, the Lenovo Legion Y740S-15IMH [2] that has an i7-10875H CPU, a 4K display, and no dGPU. Sadly, it seems to have pretty limited region availability so far (see the PSREF listing to check). If you're willing to forgo the 4K display (a 15.6" 1080P screen at 24" is >60ppd, so it should be close to a "retina" display [3]) then you might have another option (the one I've been looking at). The latest AMD 4800H processors perform neck and neck with the i7-10875H (with much better power/perf) [4] and there's one ODM, Tongfang, that has a Renoir refresh (model PF5NU1G) that looks like it might be the best option available this generation (I'm looking for much the same thing as you - the highest CPU power possible, no dGPU for better battery life and less Linux hassle). It's using the same (1.5kg 15") chassis as their older Picasso model (see the Schenker VIA 15 NBC review for a good overview [5]) but with some notable improvements: * Improved dual fan, dual heat pipe cooling means it can boost to 65W and sustain 54W CPU performance * Dual channel, dual DDR4-3200 SODIMM slots (but the tradeoff is now only 1 M.2 slot) * slight display upgrade from N156HCE-EN1 [6] to a NV156FHM-N67 [7] - matte, 300nit, 100% sRGB, dE<2, 1000:1 contrast ratio FHD screen w/ DC (not PWM) dimming * USB-C PD (Power Delivery) support added, but no DP (DisplayPort alt mode); but has HDMI 2.0 support for a single 4K@60 external output It's currently on-sale already in China as the Mechrevo Code 01 for ~$750 [8] and is supposed to be coming to Schenker/Tuxedo soon (lots of technical details and an interesting discussion in DE here [9]). Eluktronics should be bringing it to the US soon as well [10]. I'd expect a price point of around 1000 USD/EUR. [1] https://laptopmedia.com/specs/?q=&hPP=20&idx=laptops&p=0&dFR...
