My first choice would be a framework, hands down. Not the cheapest but the build quality is great and repairability is the best of any laptop.
Second choice would probably be any non inspiron Dell model. The G15 line is solid if you’re in it for a mid tier gaming laptop.
Asus is trending downward I think. Their RMA process isn’t great. I’d avoid their TUF line, buddy just had his 4 year old laptop die without warning. Its probably the motherboard and looks to be a known issue.
any good recommendations for a solid build to an affordable price ratio?
