Hello Lemmings,
My 5 year old gaming laptop finally needs to be replaced. I need a new laptop for programming and light gaming. I no longer game on a laptop but a desktop. Though being able to play even outside would be nice so the laptop should be able to play at least Team Fortress 2. I’ll be installing a Linux distro on it. My budget is around 800-1000€. The screen should be 14 or 15 inches. The battery should last at least 6 hours while not doing anything heavy as video editing or gaming.
The right choice is a Framework laptop. But if not that one, then a cheaper Framework laptop.
I use an Acer Spin 5, and I really like it, but my next laptop is definitely going to be a Framework. The fact that I can never upgrade my Acer’s CPU is just sad. Even if the screen, keyboard, trackpad, etc, all work great, eventually it’ll just be ewaste.
