Not sure of definition of notebook vs laptop - I got a Dell Latitude 7300
when it was the current model in 2020 (so not that long ago!) and use
it daily running NetBSD-current. The only "glitch" you already know about(!):

and it rarely manifests itself, as often there is either cpu load,
or a video running, oh, and I use a USB wifi dongle.
