Also looking for the same. I haven't used it personally but Lenovo T14 AMD version has been getting rave reviews.

There is also Thinkpad Nano coming up in January. It is super thin and lightweight, not sure if it would be good enough for heaving programming though

I recently transitioned from desktop to a T14. Although my time-with-product has been relatively short (a week or so), I am really happy with it.

Pros:

- Ryzen 7 4750U is awesome.

- Lots of RAM.

- Easily customizable orders from Lenovo with great features to add

- Renoir graphics are pretty solid

- keyboard is fantastic, classic ThinkPad feel and usability

- Easy to upgrade. Ordered with a 128GB nvme and immediately upgraded to a 1TB, saved about $200.

- docking station allows for easy desktop use with multiple monitors

Cons:

- libfprint is still in it's early stages imo, so the finger printer reader is tough to set up with linux.

- no backlit keyboard (on the one I ordered, can't remember if that was an option or not)

What happens when you press fn+space?

[stonepresto]

Nothing. If you're thinking about the "Privacy Guard" it's Fn+D for me.

how do you like the screen? I wish it had higher resolutions :(

[stonepresto]

I run a tiefighter monitor setup (2 vertical 1 horizontal in the middle) so I'm not super concerned with the laptop resolution.

My main thing was the viewing angle being very small for privacy in cafes. It also has Fn+D to toggle small vs. wider viewing angle.

So overall it works well for me.
