So, I looked on the AMD shop online and it looks like the MSI Bravo 15 satisfies all of these requirements, it is surprising that there was only one laptop in the AMD store that seems to satisfy this.

I'm in the USA, maybe that makes a difference.

They seem to only have a FHD (1080p) screen with 16:9 aspect-ratio though?

ah, that would do it, I was trying to figure out what the issue would be with it.

Is it possible that they just don't sell 4:3 screens very much anymore? I can't imagine why.

(Google tells me this is the case, 4:3 is the old standard and not made much anymore).

It’s the resolution I care about more than the aspect ratio. A squarer aspect ratio would just be the icing on top. But yeah, if you’re happy with 1920×1080, then it’s not too difficult to find machines satisfying the other two requirements.

I think it's just that unfortunately a lot of these laptops are geared towards gamers, and pretty much all gaming laptops have 16:9 aspect-ratio, and they also usually use high refresh-rate screens, which are also almost entirely in 16:9 aspect-ratio.
