It would be even higher if laptop manufacturers wouldn't gimp their laptops with amd cpus. Lenovo is well known to have almost no amd laptops available. There are some serious under-the-table deals with Intel I assume.

My last laptop purchase I wanted an AMD CPU as the integrated graphics is actually decent, unlike Intel integrated. That choice alone cut out 90% of laptop options. Which is wild considering how power efficient they are (which...is an incredibly desirable feature for a laptop you would think a laptop manufacturer would want to have).

Yeah but Intel name recognition is strong.

I have just bought ThinkPad, there is definitely more Intel variations but the T and P series often have at least one with AMD (and now I too have my first, my own, AMD cpu in house, even if a mobile one).

My Lenovo T14 Amd laptop is going strong. Just sucks that the 16gb ram isn't upgradable.

I bought the T14 also, gave it to my kid, it was a great computer he said. Much better then the Ideapads the rest of the class had.

Don't ever confuse Ideapads with Thinkpads. Thinkpads are the best!
