Clips are not so fragile. I have disassembled my P14s gen 2 wtih AMD on first day because i wanted Intel AX210 wifi instead of realtek. Two fingernails broken, because i don't have tools, but with plastic tools it should be easy (here is video https://youtu.be/K_lJcciszsw).

Big problem for me is USB-C. I don't like small, fragile connectors directly soldered on motherboard. USB-A is on separate board. I don't know why USB-C has no separate board.

Trackpoint on AMD models has terrible in linux support. Sample rate of trackpoint is max 40Hz, because it's in fallback mode (PS/2 protocol). Touchpad can't be disabled in BIOS and low rate is because is muxed with trackpoint to single PS/2 interface.

S0ix don't work. No opportunistic sleep. Minimal power usage on battery with AMD-5850u, LCD at minimum brightness (4k panel) is 3W. Standard power usage while i am working is 3.5-4.5W.
