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.

If I were you I'd look for one with a recent-ish AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. Look for CPUs with model numbers in the format 4xxx or 5xxx. And try to get 16GB of RAM if you can. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dotdev@programming.dev [S] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Only Intel is there in my area. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago Those would also be good. permalink fedilink source parent
