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.

Had one for work (embedded dev) for three years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Then I mean a later year because my girlfriend and I each own X1s from around that time which we bought on eBay. Mine, I believe, was listed as a 2018. Hers is a year newer. So those figures might need budged but I do not mean a T480. Unless you're just recommending a T480 over an X1, in which case, I apologize for stepping all over your punchline. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dotdev@programming.dev [S] 2 points 2 years ago Yeah x1 are slightly pricey permalink fedilink source parent
