Honestly I was and am, an AMD fan but if you went back a few years you would not have wanted and AMD laptop. I had one and it was truly awful.

Battery issues. Low processing power. App crashes and video playback issues. And this was on a more expensive one with a dedicated GPU...

And then Ryzen came out. You can get AMD laptops now and I mean that like they exist, but also, as they actually are nice. (Have one)

But in 2013 it was Intel or you were better off with nothing.

Indeed, the Ryzen laptops are very nice! I have one (the 4800H) and it lasts ~8 hours on battery, far more than what I expected from laptops of this performance level. My last laptop barely achieved 4 hours of battery life.

I had stability issues in the first year but after one of the BIOS updates it has been smooth as butter.

Yeah I never really considered them before Ryzen, but even afterwards, it's been very difficult to find one with the specs I want.
