I've had a terrible time with my Z16 AMD Gen1 (Ryzen 6850H). One broken BIOS update after another, and just when things started to stabilize they pushed out one that broke external USB-C displays and hubs, and the update went out in a way where it could not be rolled back and it's been like this now for over a month without a fix.

Before that they had BIOS versions that under-ran the fan so it overheated, versions that overran the fan constantly, and power management and wake-from-lid-closed under Linux has in general been a nightmare all along.

Lenovo's reputation for reliability has been heavily tarnished by this, but in particular I think going Ryzen with them is a real roll of the dice.
