Starting a laptop selection process. Thinking about moving away from Apple Silicon as despite its many advantages… virtualisation is very limited so the testing and development I want to do in a localised homelab environment is just not possible.
Thinking my wish list is:
Need: Linux compatibility, 15-16 inch screen with 16:10 aspect ratio, two NVME slots for upgradable / swappable storage, 8+ hrs battery life, at least 32Gb RAM, USB-C charging, USB4 / Thunderbolt, quiet fans, no throttling
Want: TKL keyboard, Ryzen APU, 2880x1800 display, High refresh rate display (120-165hz) with Freesync / VRR, fingerprint reader, 64gb 7500mt/s DDR5 RAM, upgradable slot for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5+
Do NOT want: Windows, non-x86_64 CPU
Don’t care about: Soldered vs socketed RAM, OLED display, dedicated GPU
Currently got my eye on the Starlabs Starfighter (though might be vapourware?), Framework 16 (but not convinced by cooling, single NVME slot and price), Lenovo P16s Gen2 (concerns are: single NVME, keypad, Lenovo brand)
Anyone aware of others?
Post might be edited if I think of other requirements.
