Hey lemmings!
I’m looking to get a new laptop in the near future but I keep getting lost in the details of what is good versus what I’d need.
I’m not really a gamer and already have a console for most games, but would like something that can at least run something like league of legends.
I also would be doing some light video editing but even so I don’t think I’d need some top of the line cutting edge option.
So I thought I’d ask Lemmy for their thoughts on what’s a good general purpose/workish laptop in 2023!
If you are a fellow Linux user, make sure you don’t get Nvidia, and i believe Dell and Lenovo have good compatibility and support Linux, but check that out in any case.
nvidia works fine in Linux, haven’t encountered any big problems ever in laptops. Just make sure that this is a discrete adaptor which will be used only for gaming or rendering (VAAPI, CUDA, etc.).
Yes, as main video adaptor nVidia isn’t that great.
I just follow what the Lord says..
You are free to do that, of course.
But while you following that course, I’ll play Doom Eternal on ultra settings, or even Horizon Zero Dawn on highest.
As both. Arch user and a Nvidia fanboy This advice is barely valid just watch your Nvidia driver updates. I don’t let mine go until after reports are out on how it works
