Lenovo Ideapad slim 5 AMD version
No performance / battery issues?
I always charge it when using it so don't know the battery life, it does get slow when running multiple models with circular ON, otherwise its fine. I bought it for recruiting too - completing case studies etc since my main laptop is a macbook. Good laptop for the price imo
Cost me ~$2K but X1. Almost 3 years with it, minimal problems.
MacBook Pro I love the wide one
Cracks me up that people are downvoting you even though OP said personal use. Console wars alive and well in 2025.
There is no better laptop once you remove work programs from the equation.
recently got X1 and love it.
All things Lenovo but specifically I have the Legion. It’s a beast. I got the i7 for $1400, think it may be at $1600 now. 100% rec, I run a lot of high cpu software
I have a Legion as well. It’s a bit heavy but a beast.

I've got a beastly desktop with a Das Keyboard ultimate, but the tablet/laptop has to be light.
LG Gram. You can get them discounted at Costco.
Using Mac Air rn but frankly thinking of siwtching to Lenovo. Honestly I'd like to move away from Apple on the phone side at some point too, we'll see in a few years
I just rawdog the work laptop for all personal use - ALT TAB to a spreadsheet after a little personal browsing much more efficient
I just got a Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i for $1,300. I wanted something I could use for grad school and could also do some light gaming on.
