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.

You've mentioned a few times that a new framework is firmly out of budget.

Might still be worth keeping an eye out though. They had a sale going a while ago for some units that were pulled for QA. If minor defects don't bother you it's possible to get a framework 13 for <1000€ if you're patient and a bit lucky.
