AMD or NVIDIA Laptop recommendations on 2026?

Hi everyone.I've switched from windows to ubuntu and now arch for several months.I just received a job offer and plan to work full-time while self-studying cs knowledge My goal is to build strong foundations and eventually get into a CS Master’s program (and possibly PhD later).

My current laptop felt very bad on windows. I will never use windows again.

Thank you for your reply and sorry in advance if i say something wrong.

(Actually, i considered macbook air but it's not open-source,so i didn't like it.)

Edit:Sorry didn't mention that.I need a dgpu for gaming + future software development (including possible ML / AI self-study when i'm master). My budget is around... RTX 4070 / 4080 laptop level.
