Hey lemmings!
I’m looking to get a new laptop in the near future but I keep getting lost in the details of what is good versus what I’d need.
I’m not really a gamer and already have a console for most games, but would like something that can at least run something like league of legends.
I also would be doing some light video editing but even so I don’t think I’d need some top of the line cutting edge option.
So I thought I’d ask Lemmy for their thoughts on what’s a good general purpose/workish laptop in 2023!
To each their own. When I look at that thick plastic screen bezel with those plasticky privacy switches it looks pretty cheap. And those seams on the sides where the module/dongles plug in. For me it’s not aesthetically pleasing and is bigger than needed to accommodate the modules and screen. I’m glad there is something to serve this niche and if it’s something that you’re looking for then that’s cool.
I agree on the repairability. Manufacturers would be wise to do better at that. But it looks like the EU might force their hand anyway.
Yeah, the Framework looks a lot like my work-supplied Dell Latitude laptop.
Which, the Latitude is a business-focused laptop designed to have a lot of parts be serviceable by IT departments, so it’s probably not a bad comparison. But I wouldn’t call it sleek compared to an ultrabook or a macbook.
