Hi everyone!

I need to buy a new laptop to replace my 12 years old laptop. I didn’t look after hardware for a while for some personal reasons.

I will buy something new. My needs are:

  • photo editing
  • video editing
  • vector graphics editing/creation
  • good battery life (I don’t want to worry about)
  • web navigating, docs, spreadsheets
  • USB-C charging would be nice

I don’t game, and Framework isn’t available where I live.

I would be happy to have some recommendation on what is a good hardware for this use and good brand.

Thanks!

    Ok. From what I’ve seen over the years in the Linux community, ThinkPad laptops seem to be the most popular. I think they have the best support for hardware, and ideally, battery usage. I would like at those before you look at Dell, HP etc.

    If you have any budget for something like System 76, Tuxedo or one of the other specialist Linux laptops, definitely consider that because you will have zero hardware issues and if you need support you’ll get it.

    Whereas if you buy a generic laptop and need support, the only help is the community and Google search…
