Also consider the IdeaPads - I bought one with a GeForce 1050, then another with a GeForce 3050 five years later. They've worked great, have good battery life, look and feel MacBook-like (minimalist aluminum body) and have served me well gamedeving. https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/laptops/ideapad/ide

You're welcome. Yes I do see the edit now - all three appear to have 32GB of RAM.I'd still recommend going for the Vivobook simply because of the significant extra horsepower from that Core Ultra 9 285 and that beautiful 2.8K OLED.

Hey, I have a good recommendation, a laptop that I myself have been using for a while now. Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i 16" Mine: Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, Integrated graphics, 32GB DDR5, 1TB storage. Excellent and handles all that I throw at it. Battery is stunning. Price was 1.25L (INR) so about 1400 USD

Hab es mehrere Wochen mit Windows und Linux getestet und nur zurückge

Lenovo IdeaPad pro 5i, in Canada it's about $1300CAD due to summer discounts(usually $2000CAD). Get the AMD for better battery or get the Intel for better performance, though imo they're about the same
