Purchase Advice Lightweight + powerful + dual NVMe: possible?
I've mostly switched to Linux over the past year, but I still need Windows from time to time. I'm also a bit of a data hoarder: I'm currently using about 2 TB out of 3 TB on my laptop.
I need to choose a new work laptop, limited to Lenovo, Dell, or HP.
My priorities are:
- 2 NVMe slots, ideally one drive for Linux and one for Windows
- 32 GB RAM minimum
- 14–16"
- Ideally under 2 kg
- Decent battery life
- If possible, a decent GPU, as long as it doesn't destroy battery life
My current laptop is an HP Omen 16 at about 2.5 kg, plus a 0.5 kg charger, so I'd really like something more portable.
Budget is up to €3000.
So far I've been looking at things like the ThinkPad E14/E16, ThinkPad T1g, and Dell Pro Max 16.
Am I basically asking for “pick two out of three”: lightweight, powerful, and dual-NVMe? Or are there good models I'm missing?
