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!

    My next laptop will be a framework. They offer parts and manuals and it is built to be fixed and upgraded instead of thrown away like almost everything else now. https://frame.work/

      I was going to say this. I don’t really need a new laptop but might get one when they release their gaming laptop and give my current one to my brother or something.

      Same, I like the idea that I can just upgrade the Mobo+CPU for a cheaper upgrade, then can still use the old mobo+CPU as its own PC.

      A nice idea I just wish there were more manufacturers taking this path. I’d be too worried about the company going bump and leaving me with what amounts to any other laptop
