Before Intel Core processors became the standard hot processor I was an AMD guy. I'm heading back towards that route. This means no Macbook or Surfacebook for my next development laptop for me. If anyone wants my money they better build a developer worthy laptop with an AMD processor and a sweet AMD graphics card. Also AMD is working on providing open source GPU Vulkan drivers.

They have already provided them:

This one [1] seems like a good choice in terms of performance, but certainly no MBP in terms of portability.

I already have an ASUS ROG laptop so this sounds like I'm sticking to them! Thank you, was hoping they'd add in AMD.


For a portable laptop with AMD, this one will soon be available: https://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/consumer-notebook/ideapad/700s...
