I’m in the market for a new Linux laptop. My current machine is a 2018 i7 with 64GB of RAM, a 4K screen, 1TB of storage, 2x USB-C and 1x USB-A.

I’m looking for something that can match my current specs but brings great battery life, modern Wi-Fi, and a fingerprint reader. I don’t have to have 4K, and may actually prefer lower resolution for the battery savings.

I’d love to hear some recommendations for a machine built within the past 12 months. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    I bought mine in a moment of low supply from lenovo, so I couldn’t configure any laptop and I just had to buy what they had in stock, and this was the only one meeting my requirements. I like it much more than my previous XPS15, and it’s a great laptop, but I’d still go with AMD if I had the choice. Intel’s processors heat up a lot under heavy load, I don’t really need the nvidia graphics card (but the intel’s integrated one is not really good), and as I said things are better with linux, but still not great. Modern ryzens should solve all of those problems.
