I really liked that laptop's CPU and dGPU. In Linux, I always have an easier time with GPU drivers/behavior with AMD vs. nVidia.

Unfortunately, with that particular laptop I realized I also care a lot about the key caps. I really hated their flatness and (to me) peculiar texture.

So I looked around for another all-AMD laptop, and the best candidate I spotted was the System76 Pangolin. Unfortunately it appears to have very similar key caps, so I didn't get one.

I ended up reluctantly buying a 2021 Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (AMD CPU, nVidia dGPU), because the keyboard feels much better. I'd rather deal with nVidia driver hassles than with an always unpleasant keyboard.

But I would have gladly payed another $100-200 for a laptop with the best of all worlds:

- AMD CPU

- AMD dGPU

- pleasant-feeling keycaps

I'm hoping that as AMD gains more laptop market share, eventually I can get such a laptop. (Assuming I stick with x86, which is less relevant to me each year.)

Maybe they could make something larger with the thermals and battery of a gaming laptop, and put a huge 160-core ARM server CPU in it.
