Pls recommend a laptop or desktop

I bought two: one used desktop and one new laptop and returned them. Had screen trembling issues or could not start (the used one). I would not buy an apple because it is a black box I could not expand the ram/ board etc. Needs 32 GB RAM or 16 G at least , 1 T hard drive to download my expiring Google drive. Intel cpu. Thanks!

If you’re an engineer then Apple or keep wasting money on PC trash 🤷‍♂️

I like Linux but the distros are just too buggy for me to tolerate tbh

I still have a soft spot for ThinkPads. Think my most recent is a T480 that I got refurbed for like $500. Fantastic machine for that money (i7, 32GB, 1TB SSD).

System76 or Framework laptops are good. Otherwise Lenovo and MacBooks

Are Frameworks actually good? Have they started shipping out?

PayPal PQaS27 May 12, 2022

Quality is pretty good yes. The only downside for me is the high screen resolution. Linux usually doesn’t like fractional scaling. Yes they started shipping it out.

HP spectre x360 is good value for money. Bought mine 4-5 years ago, still using mine
