- Ryzen based for core count - No dedicated GPU as more wattage available for CPU + less heat for cpu boosting - Dual NVMe slots, or at least on-board emmc + NVMe slot, hold tmp in NVMe, replace if it dies. Probably not going to be an issue, I have a 1TB NVMe drive which I've been doing multiple daily builds on for 2 years which is still at 99% health.
For a decent manufacturer? Dell aren't recommended at the moment as the QA due to pandemic conditions is lacking and machines are arriving broken. HP do some decent Ryzen based laptops, as do Lenovo. For a wild card you can also check out System76 but they're just OEM rebrands. Good luck, it's a minefield out there. Regards, Jack On 14/06/2021 12:58, Robert P. J.
