The Intel models are generally a bit better-supported. With the stability problems and possible cpu damage reported in 13/14th gen and stability problems now reported in 15th gen I don't think I would want newer than 12th gen Intel CPUs at the moment though. (Various developers have the Intel version of T14 g3 and those work pretty well FWIW). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
