So I haven't been keeping up with computer hardware stuff in quite some time, and I've actually been looking into getting a laptop for gaming. Yes I know, desktops are superior in every way, except the one that matters most to me. Portability.
So really, what are my choices for non-nvidia devices? It seems like every laptop I see is geared for intel/Nvidia for c/gpu with only a couple offering amd/Nvidia instead.
What are some good places to look for things other than Intel and nvidia?
I've had my eye on the Framework 16 and it has an option for an AMD processor and dedicated graphics card.
Well that's pretty awesome!
Unfortunately also about $1000 more than what I was looking to spend, but still. Awesome anyway. Do they ever go on sale?
I hope they're still around next time I want to upgrade!
I know your pain! (Cries in Nvidia laptop) when i bought mine i literally couldn't find a laptop with AMD graphics in my region.
There is some hope these days. In addition to the previously mentioned Frameworks laptop, there's also this TUXEDO Sirius 16 - Gen1. (Tuxedo is a German company specializing in Linux-compatible computers). It might not be exactly what your looking for, but AMD graphics laptops are so few and far between I thought I should put it out there.

The price wasn't as bad as I was expecting, even with the exchange rate.
As much as I'm all for the "lol get Linux" memes, I don't know the first thing about Linux, and prefer to debload windows. It sounds kind of dumb and circuitous, but literally everything I do is geared to windows. I wouldn't even know where to start to move everything over to Linux/win11 vm (which I did notice they'll preload for an extra 150 which is neat)
