Laptop recommendations? (lemmy.world)

Hi!

I'm in the market for a new laptop and I'd like to consult with the community about what's being recommended on the year 2026.

This is a laptop that I intend to use for both playing games and using as a mobile coding platform so battery and horsepower are the main points that I'd take into consideration, prioritising battery power.

I do not care if it's otherwise bulky.

I am currently encountering issues with AMD hardware on my main machine so just having a guarantee that the hardware is not gonna flop on me would be a big plus.

All in all! Thanks for giving my post a read and any answer would be appreciated, specially in the 900€ range.

My recommendation is outdated by a year, but I love my Lenovo Legion, and I would think a current model would do fine as well. Everything worked out of the box, including the lenovo hotkeys for adjusting the keyboard lights.
