Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

I currently use a 2021 Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and I really enjoy it. It's a bit pricey at $1650 MSRP but it comes with a high end all AMD 5900HX, 6800M, 2 SoDIMM slots, and 2 M.2 slots. Plenty of ports: 3x USB-A, 1x USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI, headphone jack, and power jack; I've needed all of them and it's just enough. Quite good battery life for a gaming laptop and supports USB-C charging. I currently dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. Biggest flaws are the preinstalled SSD is crap and there's no webcam.
