First time posting. My laptop (surface book 2) just died and I'm looking for a new laptop, I'm a student and I want a premium thin and light that lasts. No panther lake options available in my country so I'm hesitating between the zenbook s16 (2026 model) and the thinkpad x9 gunspin . Both are powerful enough for my use case, thinkpad is about 400$ more expensive in my country, but I'm considering it because of the more positive reviews. I saw many complaints over the zenbook. What do you think?

The ThinkPad X9 sounds like the safer choice for a student!
