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 problem with my gaming laptop is that there’s some hardware issues that are pretty costly. I’d rather just get a new laptop at that point.

      Yeah, makes sense.

      I did a quick search (you’ll have to do the validation) and these are laptops < 900€ with 32GB, 1TB and AMD:

      • HP ProBook 455 G10, Ryzen 7 7730U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
      • Lenovo ThinkPad L15 G4 (AMD) Thunder Black, Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD
      • Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G6 ABP Arctic Grey, Ryzen 7 7730U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
      • Acer Aspire 5 A515-47-R87W

      Thinkpads are known for using components that linux works well with. Probably that could be on top of your list.
