I personally suggest you find an AMD Ryzen laptop, especially if you want to play games. Those will have better efficiency and way better iGPU performance.

Considering AMD made this about 10 times harder for no reason, get something with a Ryzen 5 or 7 that has 40 or 45 at the end of the model number .

I personally bought a Thinkpad (E14G2 AMD) from eBay for school and stuff. So far it’s serving me well, and I’ve even successfully used it for video editing

those things suck
