Patience...it has been planned for Q3 2020.

The nature of modern laptops (heavily customised motherboards, limited selection of components compared to PC's, power/weight/heat constraints and generally one base model per type per year) means that putting a newly released CPU architecture on a new process node into the current years laptops is risky, even Intel avoid it where possible.

That combined with AMD's ambition to put lots of cores and a relatively powerful GPU into laptops means the additional process maturity and understanding of how the CPU behaves in the real world means you are less likely to get stuck with a lot of very expensive paperweights.
