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 main board switch is expensive and you won’t touch the performance of a dGPU
The 16" dGPU “upgrade” is Nvidia shit.
My Framework 16 is a year or two old at this point, but my dGPU is AMD
That’s the old dGPU.
Call up AMD and tell them to release a mobile GPU
Why would I? My argument is that their iGPUs are a better pick for notebooks.
The 7700S is better
