Hi everyone!

I need to buy a new laptop to replace my 12 years old laptop. I didn’t look after hardware for a while for some personal reasons.

I will buy something new. My needs are:

  • photo editing
  • video editing
  • vector graphics editing/creation
  • good battery life (I don’t want to worry about)
  • web navigating, docs, spreadsheets
  • USB-C charging would be nice

I don’t game, and Framework isn’t available where I live.

I would be happy to have some recommendation on what is a good hardware for this use and good brand.

Thanks!

    Can we discontinue the /s please. Its just cringe and adds nothing. (Minor pet peeve)

      Hmm…, I think with the level of literacy (or just plain text skimping) we find on the internet, anything that helps in conveying the message is a clear win; especially if merely the use of just two characters enables one to achieve this.

      Could you elaborate on what you dislike about it? I’m just genuinely curious*.

        The /s is cheap, lazy and sometimes rude. I’ve never seen it add anything and at worst it can be a insult to someone’s intelligence.

          Hmm…, so if I understand you correctly; using /s is lazy, so I should either not try to convey sarcasm in written text or make it more clear that it’s sarcasm without saying that it’s sarcasm? Perhaps a better question would be: how would you formulate that one sentence? Once again, I’m genuinely curious and I’m thankful that you took the effort to type that down.

            I think the key is not trying to make a joke out of something obvious. It isn’t funny and if you are making the joke right most people will pick up that its satire.

              I think I got you now. I won’t change my ways; /s is just way too convenient for me to give up on 😅. I guess I’m weak… Regardless, I think you’ve at least given me some food for thought. So thank you for that!
