I've been out of the scene for years and hoping to jump back in soon. But I noticed a detail about these...
All Nvidia.
How much of a problem is that these days? I know Wayland still has issues, but is it usable as one's main laptop despite that? Or do most people just stick with Xorg?
And for that matter how come S76 isn't promoting AMD graphics anyway?
Because of System76, Nvidia isn't the problem it used to be. System76 has always been pragmatic in their decisions, which included recognizing their relatively small influence on suppliers when they were establishing their business. They aren't huge now but they have gained market share and influence and developed good supplier relationships to make their hardware work well with their OS (and therefore Linux in general).
People have been asking for System76 to offer Laptops with AMD for years, but they must not think they can successfully do so without some tradeoffs they don't think would be worth taking.
There is the Pangolin that is all AMD but it is an iGPU so not the same performance as a dGPU.
