Just checked this. For the 16, the GPU is a module. You can choose either an RX 7700S or an RTX 5070 Laptop gpu.
For the 13, the GPU is integrated onto the CPU, which can be an AMD HX 340, 350, or 370, so, AMD gpus.
The 12 uses igpus also, but on Intel cpus, so, intel GPUs.
I think they felt an obligation to offer nVidia because a lot of people are brand-loyal to it. But it seems like they have plenty of non-nVidia options.
Oh, that’s neat.
But isn’t NVidia the one that linux has issues with? Of the 3 laptops I looked at, all 3 had NVidia.
Since they’re so easy to repair/replace, could you just as easily tell them not to put Nvidia, and then you put intel?

My understanding is that not anymore. I have nvidia gpu and didn’t run into any major issues on Linux Mint.
