AFAIK there are no OEMs that build AMD dGPU-equipped laptops. Most “small brand” and Linux-first laptop manufacturers actually sell rebadged Tongfang or Clevo laptops, and 99% of their products are Intel anyway. AMD CPUs are often only found in “gaming” laptops with nVidia dGPUs.
That’s why I’ve put a deposit on a Framework 16. Zen 4 CPU, optional RDNA3 dGPU module, upgradable and repairable. They’re not preinstalling Linux like Tuxedo or Slimbook, but they’re at least Linux-friendly.
Few, yes, but not zero. Unless you want one with Linux on it from the factory, then it’s zero.
Yes and it sucks, I would love one
