New Work Laptop, AMD or Intel?

[In2Photos]

Looking for a new laptop to replace my Dell XPS 15 7590. Need something for office and engineering/2D CAD work. It will be connected to a TB dock most of the time. I had a Lenovo before the Dell and had a much better experience with that laptop so thinking about going back to Lenovo.

The P16S Gen 4 AMD has my eye. The model I'm looking at has the HX Pro 370 with 890m graphics, 64GB sodimm RAM, 1TB Gen 4 NVME and the 16" IPS anti glare screen which is best for outdoor use on job sites. I've used AMD for desktops but never for a laptop. Just figured I'd get some thoughts from others here.

Is there scope for making CAD software more multithreaded, enabling it to use more cores, more efficiently? We asked the experts to find out more

Not sure how applicable is it for your use but worth a read.

I decided to go with the Lenovo. Spent the last week or so migrating everything over. So far so good. No issues yet, but's it's only been a week. Haven't taken it into the field yet either, but looking forward to it.
