Pro 14

I'm not familiar with the UK market, but IMO you should be looking for Intel Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 2xxV) machines. These should be on clearance now that Panther Lake is out, but they offer more than enough performance for you use case, a competent iGPU, and very good battery life (10h+ should be at

Dell Pro 14 Essential (PV14250) is a solid entry level business laptop with a modern display, good battery options, up to 2 TB SSD, and great durability (17 MIL-STD tests), with no widely reported, model specific bugs in current internal materials.

kinda depends how serious you are about cs2. the g14 with its 6700s or 6800s gpu will crush cs2 at high fps, but battery life is meh. the dell pro 14 has better build and battery but integrated graphics will struggle above low settings 60fps. if gaming matters most, grab the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. f
