3. I've been using a ThinkPad 440p for work for ~4.5 years now, so at least I'll be fairly used to the keyboard layout. And I WILL NOT miss that rubber eraser head.
4. If they add USB4/Thunderbolt into the next generation, that'd make it just about perfect.
5. It's a little sad that these have soldered memory, but I understand that LPDDR4x kinda makes that necessary along with the form factor. Just means I need to buy enough RAM (and maybe SSD) to last the full expected lifetime of this machine.

Edit: I guess newegg at least shows the 4700u model as out-of-stock, but at least listed on the site now.

I'm hoping for mobile workstations with H parts from AMD (and ThunderBolt please). So far most of what I see is either budget or gaming.

It eases my mind about as much as Donald Trump being president.

Yes, that would be a mightly fine laptop. Alas it says 8GB RAM, soldered, not expandable. They must be kidding... Or is it still 2010?

"The BIOS does allow easily disabling UEFI Secure Boot and AMD PSP as another plus."
Excellent!
