MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch

I wish the non-Apple ecosystem gave a clear alternative that allows us to choose specs like this :-(

I look at Lenovo Thinkpad with Ryzen 5000 CPUs, they are stuck with crappy displays.

Dell has better displays but not the Ryzens CPUs I wanted.

Framework is modular but no Ryzen.

Nothing makes me want to open my wallet.

I’d love almost exactly a MacBook Pro spec with M1Max replaced by Ryzen 5000 series CPU and 64 GiB of memory, and an excellent display. May be that unicorn of achieve will cost as much as your configured MacBook Pro :-(

Eventually the Ryzen Framework will come and then the whole discussion is over for me. I won't buy a >$2000 device that isn't upgradeable, repairable and has a poor Linux story.

Same with me when Framework gets big enough to provide the top dog choices, I'd happily pay a premium for the modularity and run Linux. Hope that day is not too far.

So I was looking for an alternative and bought Lenovo Yoga Slim 7. Ryzen 5800H with 90Hz 1440p screen.

It runs loud af, fan is constantly pulsing, but it's an alright machine for ~1200eu.

It's now going on ebay to fund the mbp purchase, I want better thermals out of my laptop.
