So I won at the auction site near me one of those 12th gen Intel laptops for way lower than MSRP.
I'm going to be experimenting with it, and also it's architecture is truly fascinating. While everyone is looking at Ryzen this Ryzen that, the architecture behind the newer Intel CPUs is technically fascinating. It takes the big.LITTLE mindset of newer ARM CPUs/Phones, giving it 12 cores, 16 threads, and 4 of the cores being "power" cores.
It only has a IGP setup, but honestly I've got this older Ivy Bridge laptop with a GTX 970 swapped into it if I want to run games on the go. This might be more interesting for Linux, running VMs, compiling code, etc. Unfortunately it also requires a special CPU scheduler.
