It would be even higher if laptop manufacturers wouldn't gimp their laptops with amd cpus. Lenovo is well known to have almost no amd laptops available. There are some serious under-the-table deals with Intel I assume.
My last laptop purchase I wanted an AMD CPU as the integrated graphics is actually decent, unlike Intel integrated. That choice alone cut out 90% of laptop options. Which is wild considering how power efficient they are (which...is an incredibly desirable feature for a laptop you would think a laptop manufacturer would want to have).
Yeah but Intel name recognition is strong.
I have just bought ThinkPad, there is definitely more Intel variations but the T and P series often have at least one with AMD (and now I too have my first, my own, AMD cpu in house, even if a mobile one).
My Lenovo T14 Amd laptop is going strong. Just sucks that the 16gb ram isn't upgradable.
I bought the T14 also, gave it to my kid, it was a great computer he said. Much better then the Ideapads the rest of the class had.
Don't ever confuse Ideapads with Thinkpads. Thinkpads are the best!
Haha. Gimp.
Gnu Image Manipulation Program...duh
Ya that was the joke that flew over everyone’s heads.
