Hello Lemmings,

My 5 year old gaming laptop finally needs to be replaced. I need a new laptop for programming and light gaming. I no longer game on a laptop but a desktop. Though being able to play even outside would be nice so the laptop should be able to play at least Team Fortress 2. I'll be installing a Linux distro on it. My budget is around 800-1000€. The screen should be 14 or 15 inches. The battery should last at least 6 hours while not doing anything heavy as video editing or gaming.

Yeah, makes sense.

I did a quick search (you'll have to do the validation) and these are laptops < 900€ with 32GB, 1TB and AMD:

  • HP ProBook 455 G10, Ryzen 7 7730U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
  • Lenovo ThinkPad L15 G4 (AMD) Thunder Black, Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD
  • Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G6 ABP Arctic Grey, Ryzen 7 7730U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
  • Acer Aspire 5 A515-47-R87W

Thinkpads are known for using components that linux works well with. Probably that could be on top of your list.
