I've been field testing a new Dell XPS 13 laptop for the last month.
It has an i5-1035G1 CPU. SSD and 16GB RAM. Thunderbolt only ports.
Speedy little devil but has some kinks to work out. I set up facial recognition to log in but its flakey and doesn't work sometimes.

It has a "power" button but its blank and needs labeled. Cover does not stay fully closed when transporting and heavier magnets are needed.
Greetings from Spring Hill fireberd
I know I'm about ready to dive into the deep end and upgrade this coming year.
I started out as an AMD guy, then went Intel when AMD faded. Maybe AMD again?
I will certainly be watching very closely to see which star shines the brightest.
