The AMD variant is curious, but since it's not upgradeable I'm afraid that the lack of Wifi 6 is a no go for me at least. Without that you can't get WPA3 and that's going to be key to wifi security going forward.
I do otherwise like the offering of AMD variants in the series. To me that's just "the way it should be" in that a user can decide which chips suit their needs and get the device that contains those chips.

Just FYI, WPA3 has already been hacked with at least 2 vulnerabilities.

If it was 7nmZen2Navi, I would buy it. Maybe Surface8 then.

AMD and Microsoft have collaborated to create the AMD Ryzen Microsoft Surface Edition processor — a Zen+ APU custom-built for the new 15-inch Surface Laptop 3. The Ryzen Microsoft Surface Edition constitutes two SKUs — Ryzen 5 3580U and Ryzen 7 3780U with Vega 9 and Vega 11 graphics respectively. The integrated Vega GPU also comes with an extra CU for enhanced compute performance.
