I am using linux as a main os for 3 years. The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade. Things which I do : Read documents Watch videos and listen to music Light coding Tinker with almost everything Try new software if i can. I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.
