TL;DR - I am looking for full AMD laptop for general use with coding, modeling and gaming tilt, and wondering why do I not see any new ones.
Hello!
Long time viewer, first time asker)
I was quite blown away by original Zephyrus G14, and I am still thinking about buying 2022 model, with Radeon and great battery life. But after 22 was like a boom in technology (again), we got even better screens, even faster connectivity, even more powerful cooling. And I want to use my new laptop for at least half-a-decade. If all this time I will be longingly looking on cooler laptops that will come after, it won't be a pleasant experience.
My original hope was that after AMD explosion tech landscape would calm down a bit and I would have a window of feature-full and future proof laptops, but, as we see, it didn't go anything like that.
Most surprising "nothing like that" for me was and still is the fact that there is very little new AMD laptops, compared to Intel powered ones, especially with Radeon on board. None on this CES, pretty much, for example.
Despite AMD clearly still being a strong contestant, even against latest Intel chips, so prominently featured on CES.
So, what is the deal? Is it an Intel's monopolistic scheme, general manufacturing inertia, something else?
Or is it something with my own information bubble?
And I will be thankful for alternatives to Zephyrus G14 2022 model. It is quite close to what I would like, but better screen, for example, is obvious plus for a machine not intended to be swapped for another in like a decade.
