If you are in the US, I’m very happy with the ROG G-series. The cooling is overengineered, they have a good community built around them (see https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl), and now they’re even offering some Strix Halo stuff, which is really awesome.
Framework is great, but I wouldn’t buy one for heavy dGPU use since the cooling is… not the best. At least not until they offer Strix Halo laptops too.
Unfortunately I’m only seeing nvidia gpu’s on those (or at least that’s only option on the US eshop filters)
Oof you are right. They used to carry AMD versions (other than the pricey/small Z13), somehow I thought they still did.
Honestly this is kinda a terrible time to buy AMD gaming laptops unless you get an older one, as the 7000 series was pretty limited (with the higher end ones being MCM designs laptop makers don’t want), and I can’t even find any 9000 series in laptops. There might be more in a few months, assuming tarrifs don’t obliterate that…
