New laptop

Hi everyone!

I need to buy a new laptop to replace my 12 years old laptop. I didn’t look after hardware for a while for some personal reasons.

I will buy something new. My needs are:

  • photo editing
  • video editing
  • vector graphics editing/creation
  • good battery life (I don’t want to worry about)
  • web navigating, docs, spreadsheets
  • USB-C charging would be nice

I don’t game, and Framework isn’t available where I live.

I would be happy to have some recommendation on what is a good hardware for this use and good brand.

Thanks!

Dell XPS or Latitude or Precision, ThinkPad P or X, Framework, LG Gram, System76 and other linux-focused manufacturers, Asus Vivobook

John,

I will allways go for used Thinkpads. Best value

kumare,

My actual laptop is a Librem 14 by Purism and it is amazing!! I would recomend also checking system76.com/laptops , es.starlabs.systems and minifree.org These all come with linux, are made with coreboot or libreboot installed and are privacy and security oriented.

if you want really really good battery life, a good laptop for that seems to be the T480 (8th gen intel).

It’s relatively cheap used and if you get the 24wh internal and 72wh external batteries you can get 96wh in total

Jumuta,

starlabs maybe?
