Hello all. I have been looking up laptops for nearly a couple of months to buy but I'm totally confused reading reviews.

My work: research (lots of typing, lots of tabs), content creation in future (educational reels), exploring AI to make above tasks easier

Specs: 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 13-14 inch screen, intel series 2 (confused between V vs H), I'm not sure if I need a dedicated GPU, less than 1.5kg (I commute a lot)

Budget: upto 1.5Lakh INR

I almost landed on the lenovo yoga pro 7i gen 10 aura edition or the yoga slim aura edition but I read about hinge issues, motherboard and driver issue and questionable service etc and backed out.. thinkpad is too expensive for these Specs.

Should I bite the bullet and get a lenovo or should I look at asus or some other brand?

I really need help in deciding.

Hello all, I need your suggestions and real life experience

advice.

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase.

Upto 1.5 lakhs INR, India

Are you open to refurbs/used?

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

32 gb RAM, intel series 2 (CONFUSION HERE, V vs H, 255 vs 285, HELP!), 1TB ssd, no need dedicated GPU (not a gamer, but will use Al, do i need a gpu?), ~ 6 hrs of battery life is okay but more the better.

How important is weight and thinness to you?

Weight is important. I commute alot.

Do you have a preferred screen size?

13-14 inch

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

More of research work, content creation in the future with integrated AI, explore AI to make education easier.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

N/A

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

Good build quality, touch screen is a plus
