I chose the ThinkPad Z13 Gen1 as my Linux laptop

- I trust AMD more than Intel, and the PSP doesn't rank high on my threat model. It is a concern, but not enough for me to avoid it. Perfectly understandable if it's a big concern for you though.

- Also, Intel iGPUs are still pretty bad at gaming, at least compared to AMD's equivalents.

- System76 did not (and still does not) offer a compact AMD laptop, they only offer a 15" one. I needed 14" or smaller for better portability and weight (I'm one of those people who actually uses a laptop on their lap).

Your model makes sense, at least for situations like yours...

I got the serval because it includes a 4070 8gb...so graphics and battery life aren't really a concern to me...I usually am plugged in. I also trust AMD more but they haven't been very forthcoming on the PSP.
