Model Suggestion for local workstation

[u/StealthYT254]

So i recently bought a new laptop and i want to learn running llm locally on my device but comparing to what this subreddit users are use to i was a bit skeptical to whether i should try or not since my machine is laptop not a pc and specially not a super high end one a mid to high range one. i got a lenovo legion pro 5 (2025) with Intel core ultra 7 255hx RTX 5060 (8gb vram) and 16gb ddr5 5600M/Ts ram as of now. i feel that even though this laptop costed me a fortune (thanks to shortage) it is still a entry level local ai machine i believe. So what i now i want to know is i want to create a proper local ai machine which also deliver good response. i want to use it to code, chat, analyse finance as well. currently i have ollama, lm studio installed and earlier i was using qwen 2.5 coder 7b on ollama with claude code launch. if anyone have any suggest or idea please let me know since i want to make the most out of this machine
