My $1000 laptop still doesn't have a full-function USB-C port in 2025. Why are manufacturers still cutting this corner?

€ 850 for Lenovo IdeaPad slim 5 with decent build quality, 2 usb C charging + data ports, 2 USB a ports, recent CPU, 32gb ram and 1tb ssd. Depends on the laptop you buy.

Ryzen AI 7 350 vs Intel Core Ultra 255H? (Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 vs ASUS Vivobook S14 at ~80k INR)

My $1000 laptop still doesn't have a full-function USB-C port in 2025. Why are manufacturers still cutting this corner?

Windows or macbook?

Try an ASUS Vivobook OLED or a higher end IdeaPad Slim 5. Ryzen AI 7 350, 24GB of RAM. Should last an eternity.

Laptop Recommendations (500 - 600eur)

IdeaPad Slim 5 14" is your best bet.Upgradable RAM, pretty good CPU and two SSD slots.The iGPU is alright as well.Metal (aluminum) build, OLED display.If you can find a Ryzen AI 7 version, perfect. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Laptop Recommendations (500 - 600eur)

There are some Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 models with Ryzen 7 7735HS or even 8840HS around this price.

They should be decent, but

Need laptop buying suggestion urgently (first time buying ) !!

both are a bad choice for ML model training. You need RAM and an NPU won'T hurt.I bought a new laptop 1.5 years ago and ended up getting an 800€ Lenovo ideapad with upgradeable RAM options and a Ryzen AI 7 350 - way cheaper than all other options with a quite new CPU. The Ideapad slim 5 series also
