I'm in the market for a new laptop. Preferably under $2000 and have good specs. 16 GB ram minimum and 500 GB SSD minimum. What recommendations does Lemmy have? If more details are needed please specify what and I'll answer

EDIT: thank you everyone for the answers 🙂 I do not need anymore suggestions

The exact same thing happening twice seems somewhat unlikely... You sure you knew what you were looking at? I bought 3 Frameworks for different members of my family, DIY and preassembled, and had no problems.

Apparently there was a batch of laptops/mainboards that had this problem and I got really unlucky to get both from that batch

Damn, did you consider buying it used? Should be faster than what you any through and cheaper. And considering the modularity, less risk if the laptpp wasn't treated well.
