Ask HN: What laptop should I buy in 2022? Hello! I'm looking for a new laptop solely for coding purposes. I don't need any fancy features like fingerprint scanner or touchscreen. It has to be fast, reliable and serve me for a long time, repairability appreciated. I will use Linux only. I primarily do full stack web projects with Rust, TS and some low-level programming with C++. I will consider every option below 2000$ I will be thankful for any suggestions! |
System76 makes bespoke Linux laptops, they could be an option.
I’m in the same boat: I’m looking for a laptop to replace my 2013 MacBook Pro and I’ve switched to Linux on it. So I’m hoping more folks reply.
Reddit would probably be a better place to so this though on something like r/Linux.
To add to this list, I still think that Lenovo makes great and very customizable Thinkpads. As far as I know, the P15 is one of the popular ones. It's a chungus though, so if you need something lighter, the X1 Carbon is a great choice as well as it's very compact and portable.
