I guess the list of things keeping me off catalina (and, by extension, new Mac hardware) just got one item longer.

I recently bought a new System76 laptop as a stopgap, but it might end up becoming permanent. Kind of a sad end for 25+ years of Mac use.

With issues like this and the 4000 series Ryzen mobile processors, top specced MacBook Pros are very noticably slower than $1k alternatives.

I see the above comment heavily downvoted but I'm specifically looking at 4000 series Ryzen laptops as my 1st move away from MacBook Pros. Such incredible CPUs really make the decision a bit more acceptable. The laptop I'm eyeing is near $1000.

Out of curiosity - what are you looking at? I'm also starting to think about replacing my 2016 MBP and quite honestly, the current MacBook Air/MacBook Pro line doesn't really appeal to me.

Lenovo has a couple of AMD-based ThinkPads that are looking pretty appealing, although they come in around $1500 with the configuration I'd want.

Because I need a fast CPU for builds I'm looking at ASUS "gaming" laptops. The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 in particular is under $1000 before taxes here and has a good Ryzen. There are even better gaming laptops from ASUS that are thinner, but I think the A15 is a good 'workhorse'.
