m16 R1, with AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU?
I'm considering upgrading to one of the new m16 R1 from my aging M15. My preferred configuration is an AMD CPU with a 4060 Nvidia GPU. However, I'm not sure if the AMD CPU m16 R1 are going to be paired only with an AMD GPU when they come out after doing some reading online? Does anybody here have any knowledge about if the m16 will offer an AMD CPU with Nvidia GPU option? If I have to go Intel to get a Nvidia GPU I will, but I'm a little concerned about how the new big/little architecture will work with my older games and games with DRM. Thanks in advance.

All the available M16 systems have Intel CPUs and nVidia GPUs. The trade press reports point to a Ryzen version forthcoming, but with Radeon GPUs, not nVidia.

In that case I have three options, and Intel/Nvidia M16, an AMD/Radeon M16 when they come out or a non-Alienware system and I'm considering all three. My main concern with the Intel big/little architecture is my above mentioned compatibility worries with old/DRM games. In reality, will I often run into issues or am I worrying about nothing? I would greatly prefer a Nvidia card for DLSS (ray tracing is a bonus but not a big factor), but might compromise on a Radeon card. Any ideas on which system to buy are very welcome.
