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!

    Pretty good suggestions already, can’t go wrong with a decent Acer, Asus, Thinkpad or MacBook…get 16gb ram and 500gb-1tb storage video cards are a plus. I with in IT and graphic design/video editing, my main workhorse ATM is an Acer Tuf book. Sleek and has decent specs. There’s price points from $700-$1500 depending on what year model and video card upgrades.

    Previously I had the Acer VN black edition, got it in 2015 new, barely started giving me issues this year and I got the Asus when it was on sale.

    If you’re on a budget, you can get pre-owned dell latitudes with 6th gen processors for like $150 and below … If you’re tech savvy you can upgrade ram and storage for like $70. I buy and flip these babies and use one personally. I have a 4th gen i5 del Latitude that I carry for my IT work. Runs league fine.
