What laptop to buy? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by solaryth@discuss.tchncs.de to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm in the market for a new laptop. Preferably under $2000 and have good specs. 16 GB ram minimum and 500 GB SSD minimum. What recommendations does Lemmy have? If more details are needed please specify what and I'll answer

EDIT: thank you everyone for the answers ๐Ÿ™‚ I do not need anymore suggestions

A thinkpad. You just can't go wrong imho

Do you have any specific one in mind?

This really depends on your use case and your screen size/portability/power requirements. Laptops with AMD processors tend to be the better choice in terms of power/battery life. I would probably skip Z series, E series, and ThinkBooks.

And skip the L series. They're budget variants and it shows in the quality.
