Hmm then Ideapad 520 would be a better choice if you don't care much about battery life

Could you list out all MX150 laptops that are within your budget? Ideapad 520 might not be the best option.

Desktop specs:

Asrock Challenger Pro OC Radeon RX 6700 XT Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8Gx2) 3600MHz CL18 Kingston NV2 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

Onestly, i haven't many, just one a Acer Aspire E5-576G-88WD, with the 2GB MX150 a better CPU i7-8550U,  but 4GB RAM and no SSD, or a Dell Inspiron 5570 which have i5-8250U, an AMD Radeon 530 2GB, 8GB RAM and no SS but  2TB HDD. I think ASUS X542UR-DM430T (  i5-8250U, NVIDIA GeForce 930MX 2GB, 4GB RAM and 256SSD ) can be an option, i have no idea.
