From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Aight, I would try to grab myself an AMD Ryzen with Radeon 780m igpu or at least 680m igpu to get relative strong graphics at a low power draw. The 780m is a beast of an igpu.
Out of curiosity, what dedicated gpu would a 780m compare with? Because that p14 deal is quite compelling.
Compared to a real dgpu it's weak and I wouldn't buy it if you want a gaming laptop but rather if you want a work laptop that can also run games badly.
The below benchmarks doesn't use the same exact CPU but they use CPUs that have the same iGPU so it's somewhat telling:

It's a tad slower than a desktop rx 480
