Any idea if we/when we can get a Ryzen based models?

Ryzens have higher thread-counts and Vega Graphics outperforms Iris graphics.

If this can be paired with Thunderbolt, I'd be super happy to purchase this laptop.

The idea of swappable ports is great! Why not make a large 17" model with desktop components and even more ports?

Ryzen tends to get better battery too. I read an article complaining about high temperatures and bad battery life, both of which tend to be significantly better on AMD hardware. Honestly, it's the only thing keeping me from ordering one today.

I would really like an AMD version, too.

Buying Intel makes no sense now.

My Intel i9 gaming laptop is pretty good to keep food warm or dry my hair.
