Hello everyone,
I currently use Linux as my personal operating system and really enjoy it. I’m now looking for a reliable laptop for my business.
I’ll mainly use it for office work, software development, and programming in C++ and Python. I use Debian, so good Linux compatibility is important. Durability and repairability are also high priorities, since I plan to use it as my primary work laptop every day.
Could you recommend any laptops that would be a good fit?
Framework and System76 aren’t options for me because I’m located in Costa Rica, where they aren’t readily available.
Thank you!


This. I got a dell latitude 5450 for $400 with a core ultra 7, 16gb ram and a 256gb ssd. There are 2 upgradeable ram slots, and its awesome. Really fast.
Well, I kinda missed the chance. It’s extremely expensive now (occasionally checking eBay).
