> Why is AMD so important to you?

Not the GP, but here's my reason:

For dGPUs, I strongly prefer AMD over nVidia because of Linux driver support. In recent years, most laptops with an AMD dGPU have AMD CPUs.

It's possible that my calculus will change in the next few years. E.g., if any of these things come to market:

- good laptop with Intel CPU and AMD dGPU

- AMD CPU with a fast iGPU. (I know these are in the pipeline, but I'm waiting for benchmarks.)

- Intel's upcoming laptop iGPUs / dGPUs perform well and have good Linux drivers.

- nVidia's efforts to open-source parts of their Linux drivers address my personal pain points.



Sure, but none of these affect the Framework Laptop. This computer does not have discrete graphics.
