There's the Thinkpad T14s. I think the screen is worse and you miss out on an easily-accessible SD card reader, but I think Lenovo tends to be more reliable than Dell build quality-wise.


I wanted that. I actually ordered it in August, then I have cancelled it recently as the shipping date kept shifting (last info was November). T14s AMD looked very good compared to the 9300 in August, but it doesn't look _that_ good in December.


T14 (not T14s) still available, about 2 weeks wait time in EU.


Thinkpad T14 Ryzen also has 400 and 500 nit build-to-order screen options.


The 400 nit panel has ridiculous amounts of ghosting (to the point where you can see it just by moving the mouse pointer), and the 500 nit panel is a “privacy” option which means worse than TN viewing angles. Unfortunately Lenovo is currently limiting the good screen to Intel for whatever reason.


Yup .. I was seriously considering buying one except for the ridiculous screen options!

The x13 has an almost acceptable screen but non-touch, and single channel ram issues if I remember right.

There just doesn't seem to be a really good ryzen laptop on the market. I'm vaguely hoping the MS surface laptop 4 releases with a nice surprise of reduced bezels and two pcie ssd slots!


The Yoga Slim 7 Pro looks great and has a color accurate retina-level display, but it seems impossible to actually buy one.


Yes, it's on my radar! I believe it's not released yet and likely to be early next year.


If you are not pressured to buy now I would advise to wait until the next year where Ryzen laptops with USB4/TB4 will hit the market.
