    Funny how these new laptops might not even have S3 support anymore. The new management option drains the battery in few days.

        Well if we try to be optimists, AMD selling "old" cpus now with their new mobile naming scheme (e.g. '7735U' is a 2023 part but using Zen3 and RDNA2) means we might continue to get support and updates for longer.

        Heck, they're still selling new parts with Vega graphics. So hopefully that means driver improvements will continue for late GCN parts well into the future.

            4 years is not that old , not everyone refresh their computer every year , many developing country don't get latest gen hardware at all, so this is good start, I expect atleast 5-10 years from any hardware company

              5-10 years of what? aside from security updates, having bugs or missing features enabled years after launch makes it look like a product was poorly made to begin with

                Also supply channels won't immediately offer the latest gen for all companies and for the public sector. Some companies still buy e.g. 11th gen (2020) Intel laptops. The latest are 12th gen. Availability of 13th gen laptops is 404.
