I have always preferred desktop PC's over laptops. I wanted to upgrade my gaming PC but waited a bit too long and hit the RAM price pump and decided to just chill with what I have.

Currently Rig: Ryzen 5600x with RTX 3070 + 32GB DDR4.

I'm still on Windows for gaming but holding on to 10 with extended support. Have some random mini-pcs running linux distros but they are low performance. Same with the stack of chromebooks running Kali that I've gathered over the years.

I don't really want to contribute to any big tech at this point or the American economy in general. But I like to computer. All I do is computer.

I want a daily driver that I can be somewhat mobile in, as in, not have to computer at desk chair but can computer from couch or bed.

What's the best bang for buck right now on laptops? I see some HP models on Ebay running PopOS that seem like a decent deal?

Open to recommendations, suggestions, comments, criticisms, and concerns.

@sleepwave that's quite a good machine anyway, got a 3080 and didnt yet hit a boundary that something wouldnt be playable, but i also do not have the need for always the best graphics...

For a laptop, well there are so many models i actually cannot give you recommendations there, just set your boundaries like performance, screensize, portability and batterylife and search for used models which fit that specs, or are slightly out of it. A lot of them will run linux, if unsure check with some search for the specific model + linux.
