Iโ€™m in the market for a new laptop. Preferably under $2000 and have good specs. 16 GB ram minimum and 500 GB SSD minimum. What recommendations does Lemmy have? If more details are needed please specify what and Iโ€™ll answer

EDIT: thank you everyone for the answers ๐Ÿ™‚ I do not need anymore suggestions

Have such a hard time upvoting this, solely because OP posted their budget and they could get something much better. Apple is nice, but youโ€™ll be paying out the wazoo to be limited to their ecosystem. Nice, intuitive ecosystem, wont lie. Really pays to be in it, but getting out is hell.

Honestly Iโ€™d rather do the extra leg work of finding good enough replacements for basic mac functionality than getting an apple product. Iโ€™m hella biased though.

Oh I see. Do you have any recommendations of your own then?

Others have recommended good recs, inc linux options. Personally, Iโ€™m not nearly tech enough for that. I got a Lenovo Legion in my first college year and it lasted right until a month after I turned in my thesis. Using multiple Adobe programs at the same time, and gaming in the afternoon when I had time (Rimworld, Hunt: Showdown, Rocket League, and a bunch of other games). Spent about 1300 in 2016 I think. Battery was garbage tier though. Less than half an hour, so if thatโ€™s an issue, look at tons of reviews.
