I HATE buying new stuff. But I am absolutely dependent on a computer for my job, and my workhorse laptop is finally doing enough scary things that I really do need a new one.

My current laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad T480, and I really love it. I want basically this exact same laptop, but newer. I want all the ports, and no biometric or touchscreen. I'll be using Linux. Recs?

(I got totally overwhelmed browsing the way-too-many options - going to try crowd-sourcing!)

Wow, Framework laptops look awesome!! Thank you for the multiple recommendations, Fediverse! I'll look at this more tomorrow when I (hopefully?) recover from decision fatigue.

@sundogplanets I recommend KDE Slimbook too alongside Framework, and Tuxedo Computers

For something extremely cheap check out HP Elitebook laptops. $1,500 for a 32-64 GB RAM, AMD, and 4TB Storage laptop of HP is extremely good

What are ya trying to use it for?
