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!

Can’t really go wrong with a Thinkpad. Well, not sure of the situation right now, since my most recent machine is a t450.

Avoid the L series thinkpads.

Used Thinkpads are usually the best choice. Very reliable and not expensive.

Is that still the case though? I have one from work and it’s none of the above. It is also slow af. (Thinkpad L15, avoid the whole L lineup if you can)

Could you provide the specs of that machine?

This may be an unpopular opinion around here: but the MacBook Air M2 is a phenomenal laptop if you don’t rely on windows only applications.
