Which (Lenovo) notebooks to buy when coming from Apple Silicon? (lemmy.skumring.com)

Which notebooks are recommendable when coming from Apple Silicon-MacBooks in terms of runtime and efficiency, preferrably for Fedora or Manjaro with KDE Plasma? For now, I am looking towards Lenovo T14(s) or X1 Carbon - mixed use scenario including simple media (photos, cutting 1080p-videos, media management, Office & mail) stuff? Still love the "Lenovo"-brand and its keyboard and look 'n feel so this vendor would be my favourite.

Can anyone of you here recommend Snapdragon-devices yet which would be the best comparison as it's also architecture based on ARM? Both Fedora and Manjaro have ARM-builds so I hope that the Snapdragon-devices could get along with my desires here...

Thanks for any input!

That could be an option - thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am currently with an M4 MacBook Air and am preparing for a possible switch sometimes in the future. Have been using an old HP EliteBook G4 as second device so I know the look and feel, but something in the Lenovo-style paired with something ARM-based would be perfect. Fedora works fine out of the box so the system itself wouldn't be the problem - rather the technical base underneath.

    Sure thing! I won't pretend to be knowledgeable about the differences in hardware between like a Lenovo and a Framework. I actually intended to buy a Lenovo but I was shopping for a made-for-Linux laptop when Lenovo happened not to be selling them (they had been before and I guess they are again now). The appeal of the Framework was entirely the upgradability
