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.

Then I mean a later year because my girlfriend and I each own X1s from around that time which we bought on eBay. Mine, I believe, was listed as a 2018. Hers is a year newer. So those figures might need budged but I do not mean a T480.

Unless you're just recommending a T480 over an X1, in which case, I apologize for stepping all over your punchline.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
