I use a lot of Canva, PhotoShop and Dall-E (to generate pictures). LG gram at Costco has Intel Evo Platform Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 155H has 2TB SSD.
What are your thoughts between these two? Should I wait for BlackFriday deals? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
There are issues with the Wifi adapter in Linux. See the following thread:

After over a year and no fix, it seems unlikely it will ever be solved.

I'm struggling to decide between this deal or the Intel version for about $200 more. I'm coming from a decade of daily driving MacBooks. Before that I was daily driving Linux on ThinkPads for a long time, so I have experience, but very outdated.
I can get this Intel P14s G5 for $1,189: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/la...21g2002bus
Intel Pros:
- Bigger battery. 75Wh versus 52.5Wh
- While I love OLED, I assume the IPS panel on the Intel version will be easier on the battery.
- Dedicated NVIDIA graphics. Not sure if this is a pro/con versus the integrated Radeon graphics on the AMD
- Intel Wifi. I'll be running Linux so this one will avoid the issue with the Qualcomm card that everyone has been reporting
Intel Cons:- No sweet sweet OLED
- Half the RAM (for the on-sale model), but 32GB is already more than enough for what I need. And it's upgradable if I ever need more.
- Has Intel really gotten their act together versus AMD on performance/efficiency/thermals?
Bonus thought. I originally had my mind set on a Framework 13" with the new 2.8K display, but the price/performance of both of these ThinkPads makes the benefits of a Framework hard to justify.</stream_of_consciousness>
