[QUOTE="Vasudev, post: 828986, member: 30411"] I'd choose Thinkpad over Asus ROG in terms of reliability. Ryzen APU or CPU is not that slow when you have sustained CPU or GPU usage. Anyway, I'd also suggest upgrading to SATA/NVMe SSD 250GB-500GB and dual channel RAM for improved performance. AMD CPU and GPU works out of the box in Linux and you get access to undervolting tools etc.. on Linux and Windows. Then again, most gaming laptop SW and driver supports end after 2 years or less and switch to security only release when there's a major exploit or bug while Thinkpad series are guaranteed to have atleast 3-4 yrs of SW and driver support and may even give drivers for older Windows and have great Linux support out of the box. Taming a gaming laptop on Linux needs a little work though. [/QUOTE]
