    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.

      cries in 2015 acer aspire with GeForce 940m

      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)

        The price is also including 19% EU tax which you might be exempted for if shopping from outside EU (hopefully to a country with less than 19% import tax).

        But yeah, while Linux can work great for a lot of usecases, I’m not gonna pretend it’s always easy and always works 100%, especially if everything you do is geared towards Windows. It works for me, including gaming ^^ your milage may vary.

        (But just for the sake of “lol get Linux” memes :P there’s always VirtualBox for trying out and playing around without messing up anything xP)
