News Lenovo's new Legion 9i gaming laptop sports an 18-inch dual-mode 3D display and flagship specs

Why do all these amazing laptop companies gimp their designs by not offering AMD chips? Everyone knows the latest Intel processors are crap for gaming.
I have read multiple theories on why this is happening, but none of them are ever backed up with facts. I'm sure money and politics plays a roll. Having said that, while the Intel chips are not always as fats for gaming, other applications do perform better on Intel chips then AMD a lot of the times. Many video editing and audio apps like DAWs are better on Intel based machines in a lot of scenarios.

But yes, I do find it odd that it has been hard to find AMD based laptops this year.
 
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I am specifically looking for a gaming laptop, so won’t buy one with an Intel chip. I have an Alienware laptop with an Intel processor and the thing constantly throttles due to the Intel chip hitting 100 degrees at 30% usage.
