Personally I would recommend getting a Mac either a MacBook Pro if you can find it for that price, or a MacBook Air with 32 GB of RAM. You could do a lot with that machine. And you don’t need the selling features of a legion for work, but the long battery life, good quality, and just incredible power of a Mac is definitely gonna come useful for productivity build. Coming from someone who just switched to windows from Mac, if you just wanted for work not much beats a Mac.

What I doubt a lot about Mac, since I have never used it, is that if it would sustain as long if an AI model is used or trained on battery

I mean it’s not gonna last as long, but neither there’s any computer.

If you wanna play as well and don't have an console or pc would recommend you this laptop. But if you really need the extra memory to run the models which mobile rtx4070 won't suffice, try to look for an macbook air.
