I have an AMD Framework 13 and I cannot recommend it enough. IMO there's no other laptop worth considering unless you specifically need a Mac. They fully support Ubuntu, have excellent configuration options, and are powerful enough to run small local LLMs well (Qwen 2.4 14B runs about 6 tk/s and Llama 3.2 3B at about 12 tk/s on the iGPU via Vulkan).
This laptop has been everything I wanted it to be and I look forward to upgrading it for many years to come.
