Not convinced yet of AMD an Linux for mobile devices. Just sent back a T14s Gen 4 with Ryzen I wait for a long time because of power/stability issues (S2idle, sleep+wakeup problems, GPU, WiFi, ...).

I really hope AMD gets quality on par with Intel in this space. Maybe Framework did a better job than Lenovo, but I'm done experimenting for (going X1 Gen 11 now).

Hard to argue with the Steam Deck.

SteamDeck has a dedicated team of developers supporting that particular hardware

I wonder how it is on those linux laptop companies like tuxedo or system76. I know tuxedo and starbook etc. are just rebadged clevos, so they probably can't afford whole teams for hardware / software optimization, but sysem76 could have the engineering capacity for it.

Both Gen 1 and Gen 3 AMD have been extremely stable with good battery life. The Gen 4 is new so it might take a few months for the kernel team to work out all of the bugs.

The X1 Gen 11 is a very premium machine but compared to the T series it's very expensive, and the CPU is underclocked.

Out of curiousity I set up a machine with max specs i7-1370p, 64GB RAM, 2.8K OLED; and the price came out to be $1685. Doesn't seem unreasonably expensive if you wait for a sale.

Fair enough, it's almost double that in the UK.

[PrimeMcFly]

So buy a cheap ticket to the US to buy it and bring it back and it will still be less than double.

Assuming my time is worth nothing！

[PrimeMcFly]

You can work out the cost of a day of your time and add it into the equation then.

What? I have a number of Zen 1/2/3 laptops and the only one that gave me any trouble on Linux was the Zen 1 one. My wife has been using for 5 years. Everything else has been rock solid with a number of different distributions.

I have a similar Gen 4 machine, but in P14s form, and all is well with the exception of sleep and wake up. I'm hoping that gets addressed quickly with some BIOS and kernel updates.

I have a T14 with Ryzen that I've used as a linux laptop from day 1 with the only issue being the wifi card, which I was able to solve on day 2 and haven't had an issue with since.

My T14s AMD Gen 1 has been rock solid with Linux

[benoliver999]

I have a T495 and it's fine.
