I’m in the market for a new Linux laptop. My current machine is a 2018 i7 with 64GB of RAM, a 4K screen, 1TB of storage, 2x USB-C and 1x USB-A.

I’m looking for something that can match my current specs but brings great battery life, modern Wi-Fi, and a fingerprint reader. I don’t have to have 4K, and may actually prefer lower resolution for the battery savings.

I’d love to hear some recommendations for a machine built within the past 12 months. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I'm trying to aim for the Framework Laptop 16. Coming out soon. Should be very modular.

Talking about the devil.. 🎂 I just received an email for pre ordering.

Nevermind almost as expensive as Lenovo.

But once you're in the environment, upgrades will be much cheaper than getting a new machine.

True that!.. I actually pre-ordered the Framework 16 now.

Same here. There's really no reason why I should have to throw away the whole machine if the keyboard goes marginal after a few years or I decide I want a faster CPU.

Pre-order is placed!
