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 ๐Ÿ™‚ I do not need anymore suggestions

I had a similar issue recently and ended up going for a HP Pavilion. It's a versatile machine, you can do pretty much anything on it, it'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 I'm used to them, but I felt like specs wise I was looking at lower specs and a lot more money.

Not much to go on , but my next will be apple. All previous hp elite and thinkpads. This since you now can run Linux properly on them.

You could not go wrong with a older MacBook. This way you will get great support with updates and a well build device that can last a long time. :)

For example, this is a pretty good one!
