I am digging through the internet to find perfect (non Mac) thin laptop with latest AMD iGPU, not cheap screen and overall design, and decent battery life (around 6-8h for programming/youtube). I found some laptops on my market, but all have some cons:

Thinkpad T14 Gen3 - not great overall design, soldered RAM in that model, previous had 1 slot.

Thinkpad Z13 - just super expensive. I can buy decent Macbook for that price, but it’s not what I look for

Zenbook s13 OLED with 7840u - also soldered RAM, but for my usage 16gb is enough. Screen is glossy

Zenbook 15 OLED - same battery life capacity as s13 for bigger screen definitely lead to worse battery life than s13. Also only 1 shady retailer have it, so I’m not really counting that model in the comparison

HP - all mid-price laptops are on Intell, or having super low battery capacity (under 50wh)

So after browsing through internet - only Zenbook s13 (maybe) is best choice for my usage. But there’s no reviews on YouTube, or even tech sites - only Intell versions or 2022.

Maybe someone know how’s the battery life on that laptop AND did install linux, so I can know what issues it will have?

Edit: Also, I think 6800/7735u laptops is good too, I want to hear about them too
