This is still a pain point for me. I have been looking for a laptop with an AMD GPU for years to use with Linux, but System76, Starlabs, framework, etc insist on only having Nvidia as a discreet option. Or is it that AMD does not have laptop GPUs? Could be.

    Why do you need a laptop so bad?

    Because I travel a lot for work. My PC is way less powerful than my current laptop precisely because I spend more time in the road.

    Hmm. Even when I was doing graveyard shifts with basically six hours of just me and my laptop during the dead of the night, my desktop was still more powerful than my gaming laptop.

    This is not an advertisement, but have you checked laptopwithlinux (dot) com?

    They're based in Europe and I'm pretty sure they offer laptops with AMD GPUs, if integrated ones count. Not sure if it's the highest end stuff, might not have VRAM, but there are definitely AMD laptop GPUs

    Thanks. I'll check them out. But I was actually referring to discreet GPUs. I think I've never seen an AMD laptop GPU before.

    Oh, yeah I don't know if they carry those. It's harder to fit one in a laptop case, so I only see them in specialized gaming laptops, and unfortunately most gaming laptops on the market seem to use nvidia.

    Maybe them ceasing to produce consumer products will open a niche that others might fill. Time will tell.
