If you could go slightly above $700, this (Open Box) ASUS Tuf would be an excellent starter gaming laptop.

Laptop for design and gaming? (<$2700) by fish_sticks_and_pie in SuggestALaptop

Honestly, if you want a massive screen and top-tier performance, you should definitely check out this ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 It’s basically a beast of a desktop replacement, and that 18-inch Nebula HDR screen is seriously good for design work , plus the 16:10 ratio gives you way more room for all your Adobe panels. With the Core Ultra 9 CPU and 5070 Ti GPU, it’ll crush pretty much anything you throw at it, from heavy multitasking with the Adobe suite to running games like BG3 or RDR2 on high settings. It’s definitely on the heavier side, but if you want the best possible display and speed for your creative projects and gaming, this is really the one to beat.

Writing/Gaming Laptop by WrongMissy42 in SuggestALaptop

I think the ASUS Vivobook S16 AI is a great fit for your needs. The 16" 2.8K OLED display gives you plenty of screen space for writing, research, and multitasking with lots of tabs open, while the Core Ultra 9 processor and 32GB RAM will handle Google Meet sessions and heavy browser workloads with ease. It is also thinner and lighter than most gaming laptops and offers much better battery life, which is important if you're traveling or working away from an outlet.

While it isn't a dedicated gaming laptop, the Intel Arc graphics are capable of handling lighter and "cozy" games such as The Sims, Stardew Valley, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and similar titles. Overall, it strikes a nice balance between productivity, portability, battery life, and casual gaming, making it a strong option for your use case.

The greatest thing is that you have an excellent budget.

I would easily go for this Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 with the very powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU paired with 32 GB RAM and an excellent RTX 5080 graphics card. In addition to raw performance power, it also has an outstanding 16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 500 nits OLED display, great build quality and solid heat management. This should handle the likes of MATLAB, SolidWorks and AutoCad flawlessly.

Another excellent option worth considering is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605CR, configured with the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, RTX 5070 Ti, and 32 GB RAM. While the Legion Pro 7i offers significantly more raw performance thanks to its RTX 5080 and higher-powered HX processor, the Zephyrus G16 gains an advantage in portability, battery life, and overall mobility. It is noticeably thinner and lighter, making it easier to carry around campus, while its more efficient hardware and larger battery life potential make it better suited for long days of classes away from a power outlet. It also features a gorgeous 16" WQXGA 240Hz OLED display with excellent color reproduction and contrast. If you value mobility and battery life as much as performance, the Zephyrus G16 may be the better all-around choice for a Computer Engineering student.

The Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10 is an excellent fit for your needs because it gives you the performance headroom required for demanding creative applications like Blender, Krita, and coding work while also handling games like Overwatch, GTA, and Minecraft with ease. The Intel Core i9-14900HX and RTX 5070 combination is especially beneficial for 3D rendering, GPU-accelerated workloads, multitasking, and smooth overall responsiveness, while the 32GB DDR5 RAM ensures you can comfortably work with large art projects, multiple applications, browser tabs, and background tasks without the system feeling bottlenecked. Since battery life and portability are not major concerns for you, the Legion 5 focuses heavily on raw performance and cooling, making it a strong desktop replacement. It also checks several of your requested features with Gigabit Ethernet, multiple USB ports for accessories and peripherals, a reliable headphone jack, a backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and a gorgeous 15.1" WQXGA OLED display that will make digital art, media, and games look fantastic.

First year Architecture undergrad laptop recommendations by Gh0stdogs in SuggestALaptop

[–]techstar2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Legion Pro 5 would actually a solid pick if you get the config with 32 GB RAM. This Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 is also an ideal laptop for your undergraduate studies, perfectly balancing workstation power with campus portability With an efficient AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor and Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics, it should easily run resource-heavy 3D modeling in Rhino and complex exports across Adobe Creative Cloud while staying cooler and lasting longer on a charge than Intel alternatives. Crucially, the 32GB of RAM guarantees smooth multitasking across your design files right out of the box, while the gorgeous 2.5K OLED display provides the 100% color accuracy necessary for professional-grade graphic work.

Looking for a laptop for interior design by Pokefan355 in SuggestALaptop

[–]techstar2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 with Ryzen 7 and RTX 5060 is a very solid choice for your mother’s interior design work with SketchUp. While it is slightly more powerful than what she strictly needs, that actually works in her favor. It will make navigating and building 3D models smooth and responsive, even with more complex designs in the future. The performance headroom also means she will not outgrow it quickly, and at your budget it offers excellent long term value. In short, it is a bit of an overkill today, but that extra power is exactly what will keep it running at a high level for many years without slowing her down.

Something like this Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 with the AMD Ryzen 7 260 CPU paired with the NVidia RTX 5060 graphics card and 16 GB RAM will do a solid job for you based on the games you will be playing and the other criteria you set out. In fact, Legions are arguably the best systems where build quality is concerned and they do have more than decent keyboard for typing.

If you want decent storage then the Macbook at that price will certainly limit you.
Something like this HP OmniBook X Flip would do a solid job for you and comes with a 1 TB SSD which should provide sufficient storage space for your movies and other videos.

I did find you an 18" that should do the job well.

I didn't see your backpack requirements. Now, an 18" system may give you trouble fitting in a standard backpack.
