What kind of laptop should I get?

So, I’m planning on buying myself a (second-hand) laptop once I get the money. I’m nowhere near tech-savvy so it has to be easy to use, but also I want something that is built to last, as opposed to certain (looking at you, Apple) devices that are desinged to become unusable within a next couple of years.

Any recommendations?

I have both models and they’re fantastic. Perfect for second hand, too, since you can modularly upgrade and maintain them.

No need to be tech savvy at all. It’s almost as easy as Legos.

I have been recommended ThinkPad for this, but I have had terrible experiences; the charging port breaks, and it's soldered to the mother board rendering the entire machine bricked. The quality of these machines is not what I'd expect.

My next laptop will be a a Framework. I guess the recent launch of a new model means there might be some old ones on the market, even though the crowd buying Framework laptops might hold on to them a bit longer than other people.

I always buy 2-3 years old Dell, Latitude or Precision, some resellers on eBay have thousands of them, they come from companies replacing them, some are completely grade A like new, for a fraction of the price.

Just search for “dell 11th gen laptop” or 12th gen etc

Thank you.

Second hand thinkpad. I have a thinkpad t14s gen 1 and thinkpad t14 gen 3 they run great. The further you go back, the better the keyboard will be though, not too much of a fan of the gen 3

I guess it depends on what you intend to donwith the laptop as they’re not all built the same.
