I run AMD framework 16 and to break it down:

- performance - i've maxed out my config and there are no issues

- noise - it can get quite noisy in performance mode, while in energy saving it's silent

- battery life - it's much better compared to my 10yr old haswell thinkpad(even though the battery was replaced twice), almost lasts me through my day, though i haven't done any tweaking and i think i can get past 8hours with some adjustments

- screen - same as macbook pro m2, cannot tell a difference, just not HDR

- speakers - not as good as on macbook

- webcam - mediocre just like thinkpads

The only thing I don't like about my framework is the wakeup issue. It randomly wakes up in my backpack and it's infuriating that they have not released a fix for it.

Unlike people here recommending old thinkpads I am not gonna do that. They lack USB-C and it's becoming a pain in the ass for work not to have it.
