The Intel models are generally a bit better-supported. With the
stability problems and possible cpu damage reported in 13/14th gen and
stability problems now reported in 15th gen I don't think I would want
newer than 12th gen Intel CPUs at the moment though.
(Various developers have the Intel version of T14 g3 and those work
pretty well FWIW).
