I have a 13 " AMD, and I've been pretty happy with it. Windows basically just worked*, Linux needed a couple of tweaks to get the Wi-Fi and touchpad behaving better, but I think they might both be fixed upstream at this point.

The touchpad is a let-down coming from a macbook, but everything else has been great.

*Edit: I forgot, Windows didn't include drivers for the Wi-Fi chip, so I had to put it on a USB drive on another computer to get the framework online.

Linux works well on the AMD since kernel 6.7.x. Fedora has already been shipping that for months. Before that dicey. The intel going strong.

The big problem with them is unsupported firmware—they are all still vulnerable to logofail to my knowledge.
