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

I had a similar issue recently and ended up going for a HP Pavilion. Itโ€™s a versatile machine, you can do pretty much anything on it, itโ€™s in a metal case so sturdy to carry about, and you can get a bigger screen so you can multitask. I feel like you get quite a bit of laptop for your money.

I was also considering a macbook, I use them for work a lot so Iโ€™m used to them, but I felt like specs wise I was looking at lower specs and a lot more money.

Look into a ThinkPad.

Look into certified refurbished laptops on eBay, you could maybe snag a good deal on what youโ€™re already honing in on.

It definitely doesnโ€™t have all the deals, but Iโ€™ve had luck using www.lappylist.com to compare some options. Good luck!
