|
| BUY
A
USED
THINKPAD
x200 T400 x220 T420 [x230] T430 x62
| I don't know where you live, but try to find the new Ryzen APU HP Envy x360 15 inch, or Acer Swift 3 with Ryzen
Other options might be the Asus Vivobook S14 or S15
Why I'm giving actual helpful advice on danger/u/, but there you go.
| KDE Neon book.
| Dell XPS 15
the windows machine which apple always wanted to build
| Buy a MacBook
| Take out college loans to buy that MacBook
| A Thinkpad and any of the y700 or higher Lenovo laptops, I have been having my y700 for almost 2 years and can't complain, but if you want to take it everywhere, do not buy the 19 inch model like me

Why buy a MacBook when you can have a better and cheaper Windows Machine which is as slim?
Buy the XPS 15 - also has a long battery life. There is even a version with 4k n Touchscreen.

Why pay for a device with software preintalled that restricts its functionality? If I buy something, then it is supposed to be my property which what I can do what I want. OSX and Windows users give up the rights on the device they bought and pay for it additionally. Normally I would not care if everyone jumps in a cage by free will. Problems begin for me if it's seen as „standard“.
I'd suggest the KDE slim book:

| >>152592 same with the XPS 15. Seriously, look it up. It's like a better MacBook. No shit my dude.
| >>152625 lol, then wipe the harddrive and put Kali Linux on my dude.
But I wouldn't see the reason to buy a high end laptop if you don't have any Programms for it lmao
Windows is perfect for gaming, has the Adobe suite and with this laptop you can even produce music without any hustle.
And y I know Linux also has some programs to do the same things-
| >>152308 This and a few upgrades on top. Get an mSATA and SSD for storage + fill out the RAM slots (max of 16 gb). Just install some lightweight Linux distro and you're gold.

Can't play muh gayms on Linux though. And don't have a lot of random soft for everyday use there.
| I have a Chromebook and don't give a shit
| >>154293 what do you need for everyday? Photo editing, gimp. Office suite, libre office. It's got chrome and Firefox, you can run Photoshop in wine now...
| >>154293 Understandable. You can dual boot your system though. And wine has gotten a lot more capable in recent years. Though if it has to be Windows, and assuming you want it to play modern games well, I'd go with an XPS 15
| Didn't wine start working with more dx11 stuff recently?
| op here. Thanks for the suggestions, I didn't even expect to get that many in a short amount of time lol. I will be looking into the xps 15 and maybe something else. Thnx
| I think you should thinkpad about it
| For sure my g
