Hey lemmings!

I’m looking to get a new laptop in the near future but I keep getting lost in the details of what is good versus what I’d need.

I’m not really a gamer and already have a console for most games, but would like something that can at least run something like league of legends.

I also would be doing some light video editing but even so I don’t think I’d need some top of the line cutting edge option.

So I thought I’d ask Lemmy for their thoughts on what’s a good general purpose/workish laptop in 2023!

Totally agree. That’s what I tell any friend who asks me for buying advice. Go to the store, and see what you like, built quality and feature wise. Think about how many USB ports you need, what gimmicks you like, screen that you can fold over, or turn around and such things. Feel how heavy it is, how big the screen is compared to the overall size and how you like the keyboard.

Then go on the internet and get that base model with the best internals you are willing to pay for.
