Surface Laptop 4 Ryzen 7 (16Gb/1Tb) review after 15 minutes:
- Feels very MacBook Pro 2015; larger/heavier than it should be, big bezel, but good keyboard and quiet touchpad
- OpenBSD compatibility is nil; no keyboard, no battery status, no S3, amdgpu bombs, but iwx wifi works

It seems weird to me that it has an AMD CPU/GPU but the WiFi is still Intel
With SMT enabled, you get 16 cpu devices which seems kinda crazy on a laptop:
cpu15: AMD Ryzen 7 Microsoft Surface (R) Edition, 1996.25 MHz, 17-60-01

Also, I don't get why Microsoft limits AMD models to the Ryzen 5 with only one color and small SSD, but if you just go through their small business store, you can opt for Ryzen 7 and 1Tb SSD
