Advice for a laptop featuring a good screen (under 15.6 inches) within a budget of up to €1500?
Hi guys,
I'm searching for a laptop that offers a great screen and long battery life. It will mainly be used for Python coding, so I don't expect heavy tasks like gaming or running large video editing apps. I need something comfortable to use for extended periods, with a good display size—no bigger than 15.6 inches. Also, I prefer lightweight devices. Based on what I've seen, here are some options:
Dell XPS
Macbook Air M1
Lenovo X1 Carbon
Although the M1 model has a Retina display, strong battery performance and light weight, I haven't used Apple products before and feel uncertain about it.
What do you all recommend? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Razer offers a decent screen, but the MacBook’s panel is higher up compared to other laptops. If you’re not planning to game, the MacBook M1 is a solid choice. I don’t personally favor Apple products, but given your constraints, it’s the best option here.
Thank you for your input. For my needs, a MacBook with 8GB should suffice, though I’m not worried about running out of memory. Regarding the size of future Mac OS releases, I haven’t experienced them before, so I can’t say for sure if they tend to make newer versions larger and slower.
