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.

Do ThinkPads ever come with decent video cards for playing games? Cuz if not, that’s not gonna do it for OP.

There are in fact Thinkpadd with dedicated graphics cards but they're well beyond the 900 € price tag to be honest. 😐
