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!

    A few months ago I bought a second hand Thinkbook G2, 1 year old, for €450. It feel really solid, fast, has decent battery life and the igpu isn’t bad for older games or on low settings. It also has Thunderbolt, so you can connect an external GPU (in something like a razer core x) for more power.

    ThinkPads are the best, thinkbooks are also aimed at professionals but are made out of aluminium rather than lightweight materials. So still tough, just a bit heavier.

    For work I have a Dell Latitude. It feels just as solid and is a bit lighter.
