Disclaimer: my go-to laptop is usually a refurbished Thinkpad (currently
an X 260, so short by a factor of 8 from that 16 cores :)
I have an HP Elite Book. It works great with Debian Stable. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, with 16 cores and up to 6.3 GHz turbo boost. It has 64 Gigs of RAM and integrated AMD graphics. The only downside I experienced was that it came with Windows 11 Pro. I did not have an option to select no OS installed because I go it on Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. I hate giving money to Microsoft for crapware that I will not use.
In my case, it's plenty of computer, it's more sustainable than a new
one *and* there is a brick-and-mortar store (remember those things?) in
my city which sells and repairs those things. So take the following with
two fists of salt...
System76 has usually good and nice offers:

On the European side, I know of Tuxedo:

Then there is the Framework (a good idea, but "ouch" level of pricey):
https://frame.work/de/en
There sure are many other offers of this kind around :-)
