I bought an MBP 14" (Max, 32 core GPU, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD) which I mostly don't regret. The things that give me pause are the battery life is only (only, haha) 9 hours or so, the resolution isn't ideal (the integer scaling options are either tiny or gigantic) and it was... $3,700? If I'd bumped down to the pro I would've saved money and gotten better battery life.
When I made this decision, I was between the Framework and a ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 AMD. I still think I made the right choice, but I think the P14s would've been a great option.
Lenovo hasn't released an AMD Gen 3 for the P14s, so you'd have to live with the ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 AMD instead (they're the same laptop, it turns out). It's:
The extra nice thing about this is you get Ryzen and USB4, which lets you use eGPUs and the like.

All that said, I can't at all vouch for Lenovo support. If this is the defining characteristic for you I'd do more research before picking one of these up.
I got T14s AMD gen2 a year ago, with 4k display, 32GB. Swapped the wifi card to Intel ax210, since back then year ago the realtek was not yet supported by kernel.
Since end of mast year, after few bios updates, it has worked flawlessly. Battery lasts long with 5850U while using and suspend works properly and can last many days when not used.
The new models with Ryzen 6000 series look to be na excellent upgrade with usb4 support.
