    Personally, I’ve waited for this for 3 years, so it’s a bit of a big deal.

    Now I just gotta figure out between Intel Ultra 1 and AMD Ryzen 7040. I guess AMD is still the better option for Linux?

      Congrats to you and any other repair loving European friends who can now get the laptop you want ☺️

      I went with AMD cause the old display and camera version was discounted

      I’m running an Intel Meteor Lake laptop with Linux and it’s reasonably well supported with pretty fresh kernels (6.7 and later). Compared to an AMD desktop that I use, both have had occasional minor defects. The Intel systems have also done a lot to close the performance and perf-per-watt, even under Linux.

      I think the graphics performance and compatibility is a bit better on AMD. That would be the only reason I’ve experienced to lean that direction. But I think both are very usable, so other factors like price, availability, recency, are probably larger factors to focus on.
