I’ve been looking at Lenovo and Asus/Acer equivalents of this and must say that this crop of Ryzen chips seems to be very decent.

However, most of the interesting models seem to be unavailable outside the US, as most brands dump older hardware revisions as “back to school” gear in Europe.

So this might be an alternative if you want a 48XX now...

Yeah I've been on t495 for almost a year and, it's a blasphemy I know, but i'm happy I upgraded from t420.

And I know people with intel-based thinkpads (both linux and windows) complaining about horrible performance because intel power management.

Hopefully the trend will continue I used to put intel everywhere but today I have no problems with AMD (especially on linux).

That said my t495 came faulty from factory (trackpoints button not working properly) the quality issues are well documented if you search for that (iirc toms hardware chief editor wrote about that as well) but they changed it for me for free and upgraded to ryzen7 for free as well, that's a fair deal I would say.
