The best recent experience is arguably with current Intel chips, actually, because of the battery usage that can reach 20 hours, easily matching Macbooks: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-empire-strikes-back-with...

Performance is still very high so if they don't need the current top tier AMD horsepower, Intel is the way to go. It's also quieter, cooler and doesn't throttle. Not to mention the ability to use SRIOV GPU for running Windows software in a VM.

Also, Lenovo tends to limit HiDPI displays to Intel CPUs, for some ekhm unknown reason.

With current situation in Intel (lot's of Linux developers leaving), I'd stick to AMD anyway.
That's fair, actually. Didn't consider that.
They aren't completely backing out, but I suspect their support levels will get worse.
