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.

The swappable GPU has been a let down for me. For ages no upgrades. Might just as well get the 13" and swap the main board every so often. There the upgrades were more frequent.

The main board switch is expensive and you won't touch the performance of a dGPU

The 16" dGPU "upgrade" is Nvidia shit.

Call up AMD and tell them to release a mobile GPU
