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!

nvidia works fine in Linux, haven't encountered any big problems ever in laptops. Just make sure that this is a discrete adaptor which will be used only for gaming or rendering (VAAPI, CUDA, etc.).

Yes, as main video adaptor nVidia isn't that great.
