Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years.

The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade.

Things which I do :

  1. Read documents
  2. Watch videos and listen to music
  3. Light coding
  4. Tinker with almost everything
  5. Try new software if i can.

I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.

    eBay has many used ThinkPads at pretty cheap prices. If I were you I’d look for one with a recent-ish AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. Look for CPUs with model numbers in the format 4xxx or 5xxx. And try to get 16GB of RAM if you can.
