[QUOTE="24Karrots, post: 2521992, member: 103519"] Budget is flexible above 50k, but needs to be below 60-65k. My main use for it is going to be for coding, document work, watching videos and a lot of web browsing (need a lot of tabs open on edge), but I also want to be able to run modern games on it on lower settings, although I will mostly play Indie games (switch emulation would be a bonus but it might be unrealistic). The screen needs to be bright enough to view under light with color accuracy, anti-glare would also be good. Anything above 60hz is not a necessity as I don't play esports games, and I'm used to a 60hz screen. At least one USB-C port would be preferable, and I want the battery to last 3-4 hours minimum, nothing 3 hours and below. I also want 16 gb ram or at least an option to upgrade from 8gb without voiding warranty. Lastly, I want it to be lightweight - not bulky and heavy like a gaming laptop. As an example for gaming, I would be happy if it can run monster hunter rise at playable fps on medium settings. I am considering the Vivobook 16x (2022) with ryzen 7 5800HS, 16GB ram and Vega 7 graphics. I was considering the 2023 version of the same with an rtx 2050 and i5-12450h, but I am not sure about ram upgradability (as it has 8gb ram) and I have heard issues with its battery life as well. There is also the fact that AMD cpus generally have better battery life, so unless this laptop is an exception I don't want to consider Intel. Please help me weigh other options as well like the vivobook pro 15, HP victus, other vivobook etc as the options are confusing. It should be able to last 3-4 years of college. [/QUOTE]
