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

    Thank you for the detailed response. it seems like a good choice for me and it’ll probably be the one I end up buying. Do you think macbook airs are better or pros? Also is there a noticeable difference for M1 and m2? Im not sure which model to buy

      You won’t play BG3 comfortably on a MBA, otherwise it’s a good general purpose laptop.

      MBP is more expensive but more powerful and comes with 16Gb of Ram and a much more powerful GPU.

      There isn’t a big difference between M1 and M2 on the CPU side, but M2 GPUs are significantly more powerful.

      Finally, Pro models have better sound system, 120Hz ProMotion display, and more battery life.
