After 17 years since I got my first PC, I have finally decided its now time that I should have my own laptop. Any suggestions?

PS: I have been an Ubuntu user since 2007.
PS-2: I am from India.

Thinkpads have an good support, but Dell and others have recently published laptops that have linux out of box.

Older ThinkPads is nice

older thinkpads, used (new) macbooks

Might want to specify what you'll use the laptop for, we're not mind readers.

I recently bought a new Dell XPS, and I gotta say I’m really impressed by it. It was a little expensive (~1100USD), but the build quality, display, and specs are all top-notch. On Ubuntu, it can easily run Android Studio, Firefox and Zoom simultaneously. Highly recommend

@Linux the older you go, the nicer they are

My use case is for general purpose programming. Trying out various stuff. I know node modules and Android Studio can literally eat up resources, but I dont intend to do any heavy development with those. Maybe a few apps for short periods.

Thanks for suggestions btw. I will check out the options as suggested by people.

frame.work is what I'm saving up for.

@ezpz damn that looks cool as hell. I'll have to look into it more, because I'd really like to see these, but the concept of a modular repairable device hasn't ever worked before. Best of luck to them
