I really like my HP Omnibook 14 with the Ryzen AI HX 370 chip.. it's sleek, well built (so far, at least).. insane battery life.. the standby time on Linux is in weeks and the battery life when light browsing/YouTube viewing is easily 9+ hours. Even the finger print sensor finally just works. The touchpad gestures with kwin input actions are as smooth as, if not better than os x.

The only thing my work 16" MBP does better is the speakers.

edit: Updated the battery life to 9+ hours from 7+ hours based on what the battery monitor says.. I remember binge watching a couple of long movies/tv shows without ever having to plug in the laptop that day...

You can get more than double that battery time with an ARM

    Once you cross the ~7h battery range the cons of having to use apple hardware and software is too much to bare.

    But then you need Apple hardware and MacOS.

      I think they mean snapdragon hardware?

        Right, that works if you don't also need very high performance.
