    As someone who frequents the laptop market, I’ll throw in my two-cents.

    If you’re looking for value, don’t compromise on performance, buy refurbished.

    While I’m certain it is definitely different from country to country, a refurbished laptop typically has more life to give in them.

    I’d recommend business laptops, such as the Dell Latitudes or the Lenovo Thinkpads, but an M1 MacBook Air provides an absolutely shocking amount of performance for the price.

    Checking sites like eBay or the pages of hardware resellers rather than big box stores is definitely where I’d go.













  • It’s not really that I dislike Snap, but the little petty war against Flatpak that Canonical has started is just an 'ick to me. Besides that, switching was a no brainer for me I like bleeding edge software, and I own an Intel Arc card, which benefits from the improvements found newer versions of Mesa.
