What brands do you recommend for laptops?

[โ€“] aniki@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Buy a specific laptop. Not a brand. Brands are a guide at the very best but are generally no indication of how YOURS will work. Also don't buy brand new models. Get something that's been out for a few months or longer. Read the reviews and people online who were dumb and bought it when it was brand new. Hell, even get a refurbished model because you know a human being has looked over it from top to bottom and replaced the weakest part that already broke.
