I’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 I’ll answer

EDIT: thank you everyone for the answers 🙂 I do not need anymore suggestions

      A lot of laptops have proprietary drivers that are Windows only. Wi-fi/touchpads not working is a common issue

      Linux support for Apple Silicon is still early stages, for example.

      My hp laptop has some bang & Olufsen speaker in it, and on Linux it sounds faint no matter what I try. Mic also very low volume.

      None of the new removed laptops can run it really well at least. It’s being reverse-engineered by a small team, so maybe everything works in a few years. You can buy a Dell or Lenovo with Linux pre-installed and all the hardware works. Not so with removed.
