#92It doesn't look like there is a Thunderbolt port ( a 40 GBPS port ). I recall reading that it has something to do with it working on Intel only hardware. But whatever the case is, lack of Thunderbolt is unfortunately a deal breaker. I've moved on to unifying all my docks and power chords to only be Thunderbolt. It's unfortunate because the Ryzen chipsets are clearly getting to be superior from a price/performance poi…
Seems more sensible to me to base everything off of usb-c instead.

#93Interesting choice of animal, given that Pangolins are suspected of being the source of the virus causing the COVID-19 pandemic. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210210/did-the-new-coronav...
All publicity is good publicity, I guess...

#94I'd love to replace my thinkpad. But I need/want things that seem unavailable. * trackpoint + buttons (can be without touchpad, disabled anyway) * full keyboard * strong durable * removable battery * 4k screen * ecc 64-128gb * rj45 * lots of ports * hardware switches to disable: networking, camera, mic,.. Thinkpad's are move farther away each year. I hope some company will fill the gap.
I had the same problem. As lenovo seems set on making thinkpads more like macbooks I just embraced it and got the m1 macbook air instead of another thinkpad. It’s amazing, as long as I don’t need to repair it.

The lack of Thunderbold has nothing to do with Intel.
Apparently AMD has not supplied hardware partners with any reference designs implementing it. If you do it then it would be up to you to come up with your own design implementation.
There is one desktop Ryzen board that supports Thunderbolt

I was/am thinkpad user also. I have migrated to desktops. They are cheap enough to have one at the office and one at home. Sure the above wont work for everybody, but if you are like me, you unpacked the laptop at home and at work each day at exactly the same space, where all the cables and extra monitors were. I used to use laptop in coffee shops and outdoors, but nowadays between phone, and tablets (wel phone and k…
I too went desktop route. Built what I want - including lots of ECC memory. I too have a laptop for backup and travel (and a Chromebook used as RDP client).
Sync isn't an issue. All work is on VMs, and they get backed up every day to my Synology.
My backup laptop is a 6 year old Thinkpad, which hasn't been out of it's bag in over a year.

Thunderbolt uses USB-C since ~2015.

My main reason to go for a laptop was that I wanted to continue coding where I left off and not have to worry about differing settings and system configuration. Did you solve those problems? and if so how?
I do it with Windows by using remote desktop.
If you don't want to do something like that, with a Microsoft account a lot of settings can be applied to multiple machines.

With the quality of networks these days it may pay off to just have a single beefy desktop at work or home and a very simple desktop in the other location that you just use to remote in to the first. Keeps the environment consistent over time and even allows leaving long running computations running and picking them up later. Two remote stations and a headless server in a rack somewhere may even be better. No worries about noise and cooling.

I've been looking around for a good linux laptop dev machine and am starting to resolve around the idea of having multiple desktops. It's cheaper with better support for replacing parts as well as linux.
The laptop market churns way too much for my liking and I feel like the second I move away from my macbook pro (work) I'm going to be disappointed with the quality.
When it comes to development, my goal is to be able to ssh into my linux box and use that for most development (tmux + vim). That plus ZeroTier and I now have access to my dev machine from wherever.
Even on large codebases written in Typescript, vim + plugins are "good enough."
macbook pro + live inside an ssh terminal seems to be working well enough for me.
