Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G

The Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G boasts of a big 2560x1600-pixel, 120Hz, 16:10 display which is great for productivity and works well enough for watching videos on. This version has a GeForce MX550 GPU, which means entry-level gaming is also possible. The 12th Gen H-series Intel Core i5 CPU is relatively powerful, but this is the only option. You also get 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The body is made of metal and Xiaomi has gone with a relatively minimalist look. You don't get a lot of ports but Thunderbolt 4 is quite flexible. On the downside, the keyboard action is a bit spongy and the trackpad isn't great. The body gets warm with normal use and the fans make a lot of noise when anything heavy is happening. Given the price of this laptop, it might not appeal to a very wide audience, but if you like this combination of features it could work for you.
