I recently purchased a Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 with an RTX 5070, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. While it's a solid laptop, I'm considering returning it due to battery life issues. As a PhD student in STEM who enjoys gaming for fun, I'm thinking about switching to a MacBook Pro M5. Do you think it's worth the investment for gaming, or could you suggest another Windows gaming laptop with better battery performance?

For casual gaming, keeping your current laptop for gaming and getting a MacBook for school work could be a great idea. That way, you get the best of both worlds without sacrificing too much performance.
I've tried gaming on Macs for years using Bootcamp, but honestly, it's just not the best option for gaming. I'd recommend sticking to a dedicated gaming PC for a better experience.
If you're looking for something more versatile, consider the Panther Lake Ultra x9 or x7 chips. They have good performance for casual gaming with excellent battery life. Sure, they won't rival dedicated gaming laptops, but they're slim and lightweight, making them perfect for everyday use.
Honestly, if you want a good gaming experience, I wouldn't go for the MacBook Pro. The Zephyrus G14 is way better for gaming. It has great battery life and outperforms the Mac in every way. Plus, if you want to game casually or occasionally, you might want to try a game streaming service like GeForce Now.
