Hello All,

when buying laptops I try to avoid Ati/Radeon cards, because of pas issues.
But maybe it would be all right now.

Definitely no Broadcom wireless.
No Lenovo because of id/pairing protected cards.
In short, I look for laptops with as many Intel parts as possible.

Although it is true that Amd is a lot of power for a buck.

Greetings, J.
