Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. 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.
I managed to score a Thinkpad E14 Gen 1 for a couple hundred (the successor to the T4XX series). I’m not sure what the market is like in your country, but I bookmarked a few auction sites and checked them daily for a few weeks before I snagged mine. Definitely I viable strategy in some areas.
They come slightly above the budget
