Okay I'm a bit lost by the current laptop market between the heaps of bullshit companies are putting us through.
What I need is something decently powerful with the great battery life you find in ARM-based CPUs like Snapdragon and Apple Silicon chips.
I want the lightweight durable shit like Macbook Air you know, something I can realistically use everywhere.
I'm open to both Windows and MacOS because both are cringe, unfortunately I can't have Linux on it for reasons. (Don't worry I have it on my desktop). But I still can't decide whose the lesser evil, especially since all ARM Windows are boasting AI bullshit and I hate it I'm never gonna use that shit EVER anyway and I'm afraid I'm just paying a premium for their marketing bullshit.
Obviously Lenovo and Qualcomm are eyeing me for 
reasons but Asus Zenbooks are looking kinda cool
But ffs Snapdragon X CPUs come in three tiers and for some reason it's hard to find the highest end (called "Elite") where I live (Europe) and I have no idea if I really need one for music production (Reaper) and coding (Godot Engine)
It's so fucking complicated 
Thanks in advance for you precious help
If you're going for a Mac, set up Homebrew on it.
