Big-yet-thin, affordable Ryzen laptops with the option to add a real GPU to, that are just as upgradeable (component wise, if not market-availability wise) as a desktop?
Demand is high. Demand will remain high.
I can’t be the only one waiting to see more “real people” reviews of production units before plunking down money. I don’t upgrade laptops frequently and I don’t want to buy something buggy (i.e. Linux compatibility for wifi, ACPI, battery life, etc).
And while I’m waiting, I haven’t looked into a good answer to the USB-C dock story for the AMD versions. I see a lot of ambiguous statements about USB4 “being Thunderbolt” but not a lot of concrete statements on compatibility and capability.
Same. Although I wouldn’t hold your breath
LTT/LMG push VERY hard for this (I think Linus is an investor?). And stuff like the screwdriver reviews are a really good example. Almost no outlet said anything bad about it because… it is a good screwdriver. But it is well worth watching the Project Farm review where he very clearly emphasizes specific features and capabilities that put it in a weird hybrid “home”/“automotive” screwdriver category that felt pretty artificial. PF is awesome so his review is still incredibly useful if you just weight as to what you actually need, but a few other outlets did similar “we need to make sure this comes out #1 so that we don’t get lynched” shenanigans.
