AFAIK there are no OEMs that build AMD dGPU-equipped laptops. Most "small brand" and Linux-first laptop manufacturers actually sell rebadged Tongfang or Clevo laptops, and 99% of their products are Intel anyway. AMD CPUs are often only found in "gaming" laptops with nVidia dGPUs.

That's why I've put a deposit on a Framework 16. Zen 4 CPU, optional RDNA3 dGPU module, upgradable and repairable. They're not preinstalling Linux like Tuxedo or Slimbook, but they're at least Linux-friendly.

Framework isn't available where I am yet unfortunately.

Yeah depends on where you are but they're slowly expanding their operations. I think they should ship at least to the whole EU instead of focusing only on the richest markets, and this might be easier since they opened their new fulfillment center in the Netherlands, but having followed closely the SteamDeck's launch, I also know that logistics are a pain even for a huge company like Valve. It probably doesn't make sense yet for suck a "small" operation to spread itself too thin too soon.
