Revised list for 2025 (not in any order): - Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G6 Ryzen Ai 9 370 - Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura edition - Dell XPS 13 Lunar Lake - Dell Latitude 7440 with the i7 1365U CPU and 32 GB of RAM.
Linux is a mess. Why you want to convert these nice laptops into Linux? it's very rare to have all features working with Linux. wifi adapters, track pads, gestures, touch features, camera, sleep mode, drivers are always a problem.
It depends a lot on how you will mostly use it. I have an acer nitro, Ryzen 7735hs, 32Gb RAM, RTX 4060. I use it mainly for coding. I need to process a lot of data and I run local LLM quantized for some tasks like summarization, tagging, classification. It runs on Ubuntu and I’m happy with it. You can always have both OS installed and get the best out of windows and Linux if you prefer. Linux give you a lot of freedom and power if you can get the best out of it. Just saying “Linux is a mess” doesn’t make justice to it.
