I've never tried an LG laptop, TBH. I am so wedded to my elderly
Thinkpads that I am looking around for some high-end old models with
decent keyboards so I can postpone getting anything newer as long as
possible.

Early reports of this thing seem good:

But note the Linux comment here:

Fingerprint reader won't work and you'll have work with drivers, it looks like.
