What is a good general purpose laptop on the market right now? (lemmy.ml)

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!

Bang for the buck, Macs. Solid builds, last forever. I had a 2013 Air that I finally replaced this year with an M1. No PC I have ever had ever stuck around that long.

Second this. I threw Linux Mint on a 2012 Macbook Pro and have been happy with it. Had to install wifi drivers, but it was the last model with ethernet, so it wasn't a big deal.

I get mine off of woot.
