I just went through this search for attending Uni, and unfortunately it’s almost impossible to get a reasonably-to-decently spec’d out laptop running AMD at the 14” size right now. The purpose was to avoid any 13th/14th gen intels for their recent issues, and increase it’s longevity.
What it boiled down to (for me) was: • Asus Zephyrus G14 (32GB Ram), or • Thinkpad P14s Gen 5
Ultimately went with the Zephyrus, and holy shit I’m glad I did, even with Win11.
Edit:
To clarify, Framework is available to me, but I couldn’t take a chance on class requirements. This video was very helpful in making the final decision.
You could pickup a older device. Get something well built that has a replaceable battery.
Are you running linux on that G14? I am also looking at that P14s Thinkpad. Since it is tested on Arch linux (should work on EndeavourOS). What processor is on that Asus G14?
Transparently, not yet. I haven’t had the spare time for any tinkering (too busy with a move & holidays) though as soon as I’m able, I plan to swap out the m.2 with a 4tb and split that into a dual-boot. Sorry I can’t give any advice on that right now! 😓
The processor is an: AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics
