hi! im about to start university as a computer engineering major, and i would love some reccomendations for good laptops for running linux (distro tbd but looking at mint).
LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
- Country
Canada
- Budget
2500 CAD, 1800USD maximum
- Are you open to refurbs/used options?
VERY much so, i would prefer a premium model from a few years ago to a new midrange
- Screen size
14" is preferable, as i would like for it to fit in most backpacks
- Weight limit
Weight isnt a massive factor but preferably under 2kg
- Purpose
note taking with long battery life, light gaming with integrated graphics, heavier gaming while connected to an external gpu
