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.
Just don’t get a modern HP laptop, or any old ones for that matter. They’re crap (personal experience). If you are not planning on playing modern AAA games then probably a thinkpad would do. A friend of mine has an upgraded X1 Carbon gen 1, but i recommend something a little bit more modern for your usecases. I don’t know about battery life tho.

I don’t plan on an HP or Dell. I have had the worst experiences with them. ThinkPad even if refurbished come for a higher price than $ 600 here.
Where do you live? Where i live, i can pick up old thinkpads for maybe around 200 euro.
India
get a jiobook lol
That thing is worthless
