> I honestly cannot find a laptop with the combination of 64 GB RAM, a non-NDIVIA GPU, and other premium hardware like its market-leading trackpad at this time

Only 14”, and perhaps less performant, but here is this one: https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/.

The linked laptop lacks a GPU.
It's trackpad probably isn't as good as that of the MBP.
This is true. But it has many other advantages related to users’ freedom and security, e.g., you can open it and upgrade, it has Coreboot, kill switches: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-14-shipping-in-december/.
Yes, I'm after 15"+ too.
They also have a 15” version, but it’s much less performant. They will probably present a new model soon with the same specs like the one above.
I really hope so. I'm even willing to give up the Apple trackpad if something else comes that lines everything else up. I tried so hard a couple of weeks ago to find something non-Apple that ticked all the boxes, and was shocked my existing MBP was the only one that ticked enough of them. I'm waiting and waiting for an explicitly Linux-supporting manufacturer to offer a truly high end and Linux-friendly laptop. It's a holy grail right now.
