This one is known to be problematic:
seehttps://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/hardware/graphics-cards/1135054-msi-alpha-15
none of the issues they describe relate to the cpu itself, as far as I can
tell, so how much an AMD vs Intel issue I'm not sure. Generally wifi is most
problematic, along with sleeping, power mgmt & such....
If you are looking at trying Linux on a laptop, check the model for known
problems:
https://linux-laptop.net/https://linuxhint.com/linux_laptop_buyers_guide_2020/
or just google linux & laptop model.
I can endorse the brands recommended in the second site... I pretty much
exclusively run Dell & Lenovo laptops for Linux these days. Currently 4 Dell
(12", 13" & 14" screens i5 & i7) & one Lenovo laptop (14" i7), in addition to a
Xeon workstation & Ryzen general purpose system.
Laptops bought used for NZD300-400, and toss an SSD in to replace a HDD if it
has one.
Cheers,
Brent

Hi,
Not specifically AMD vs Intel, that is pretty much irrelevant. It more depends
which cpu (how powerful/fast, how much memory & how big & how fast the disk.
Lower end laptops can struggle with significant processing tasks. Also do you
run Windows or Linux? Linux compatability can be an issue, but much less than
it used to be.
I have done very well for years picking up recycled ex-lease laptops for
QGIS/Postgis etc... I reckon a good business quality laptop that came with a 3
year warranty when new, is 4-5 years old & has a used warranty for 6-12 months
is generally a much better buy than a new consumer grade laptop with a 1 yr
warranty.
A quick search found a few refurbished sellers in Perth (I'm in New Zealand so
can't advise on vendors there),
