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

Iโ€™m a Mac guy so my goto answer would always be something from Apple. If I was looking for non-apple hardware though I would look at Framework laptops because lack of upgradability is my biggest peeve about Apple gear.

Iโ€™m eyeing the M1/M2 macs with asahi, but Iโ€™m going to let it mature more for a bit before I take the plunge.

This is like year 3. How much more you think theyโ€™re gonna mature?

The distro (asahi) is still in very early development, gpu acceleration was just recently added. That along with a esoteric architecture, will cause headaches for the uninitiated.

The macs themselves hardware wise are quite mature, but I canโ€™t for the life of me use MacOS.
