My big wants are 4x sodimm slots for ram (ie. I can load it with 128gb ram with 4x 32gb sticks), 2x m.2 ssd's (raid 1), and 4k display with a decent gpu, at least better than intel integrated crap. Much like your beefy thinkpad, just without intel vs. nvidia weirdness that never works right anyways with a decent gpu, at least under linux. Something lightweight too akin to my xps15, I don't need a 10lb laptop to haul when I do go onsite with customers to install their networks in a data center. I'm old and it hurts now. I figure in theory AMD + Radeon will work much more smoothly, and offer something better than typically shitty intel graphics or adding nvidia atop intel that requires prime that never works suitably. I don't game a lot, but with steam proton I was finally able to start playing decent games on my desktop before it died, my xps15's intel gpu just doesn't have the umph to deal, and prime is just a basketcase that usually crashes things to try. -mb On Fri, Jul 23, 2021 at 8:21 AM Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > What would you call a decent ryzen laptop?
