I got £1k. What laptop (new) should I buy.
I am not into stinkpads. all my stinkpads used/new felt like cheap fragile machines.
Requirements:
>no overheat
>preferably >=16 gigs of ram
>good battery life on linux.
>non soldered storage
>uhhk my old mobo has pcie 3 x 4 or something… ik there are better ones so at least nvme pcie 5 or something.
i don’t know if intel or amd is better or if i should get an integrated/dedicated card. i wouldn’t mind a bit of gayming but i got a desktop for that anyway.

Asus Zenbook 14 with ultra processor or a macbook
looks nice. the base macbook might be 1k but it’s 8gb and 256 gb. literally e waste + toy Os
i sonder if i should hold back on buying these. say until the end pf life of windows 10. would these get cheaper?
>m1 macbook
>toy os
just install linux then lmao
on m1? and have it malfunction? install arch? no thanks.
1k won't get much
if you want no overheating you can forget about pcie 5 anything
>non soldered memory
aw little homosexual baby can't solder
this board isn't for you Wrong board
most IQfyents can't solder either, /b/ro
all garbo, get a desktop
already have
Then invest the money in good stocks.
macbook
overpriced tablet
>Get's the only correct answer
>"NO, I want to be disapointed"
lol
lmao even
what is so good about 3000 dollar fscebook machine? besides the battery? the architecture is gimped phone architecture
doesn't really suite OP's case, but they're god tier media consumption machines. Really good display and speakers especially compared to the competition. Can't forget about the battery life either. Had a family member get one and I was fairly impressed for what it was. They definitely know their audience.
Recieved 50 rupee for this post btw
2019 legion might be your best bet strong machines with full linux support, great io and what you're looking for. Get a lower skew and upgrade it yourself for cheap
On topic:
I need a small light (preferably 14 inch) laptop with a Nvidia GPU and 32 GB of ram.
Seems like the Zephyrus g14 (2023/2024) might be my only option but that mf is expensive
all 14 inch laptops fricking sucks
ProBook or Latitude with an Nvidia GPU + upgradeable RAM. Don't go too old on the machine or you have to tolerate a 1366x768 screen, 1080p 14" screens do exist and aren't rare, but 768p is still too common for the modern day, in my opinion.
Buy a used Thinkpad and remote into your desktop.
vivobook 16 pro with amd 5800h or the 6800h version when its on sale.
it has a 4k OLED (rgb stripe) and a dedicated rtx 3050 gpu for less than £1k (if you can find it)

I literally bought OP's pic related but last year's model this past week.
It costs 2400€ tho, 3200€ without the heavy discount I picked it up on.
It unironically works fairly grat on linux once you install the asusctl thing, I've had the tuf a15 full amd and half the shit didn't work right and ultimately returned it, but this one only has some weird shit with the nvidia drivers not picking the screens correctly for some reason, and for shit like this I continue to hate novideo products, not a single problem with my AMD desktop.
tux or framework
both trash

>good battery life on linux
Only way to get that is with a chromebook
pavilion 14 plus
zenbook 14
ideapad 5
>all my stinkpads used/new felt like cheap fragile machines.
I have bad news for you if you're planning to buy something else.
