Do you want something to surf the Internet, play games, software development, or something else? Do you want a small screen or large? Do you require a 10 key? There are a bunch of factors to consider when talking about the best laptop.

surf internet, software dev. screen size irrelevent. doesnt need to be 10 key.

Sorry, I don't have recommendations for you, I just want trying to clarify what some factors may be.

I do like Lenovo to back the other user's response. If Intel, I would go with an i5 or higher CPU. Get something with an nvme hard drive, and probably 16gb of RAM or more. Outside of that, find something comfortable.

As he said I have a lenovo thinkpad and it's amazing, except if I want to game. If the game is a bit heavier it will get super slow. Some games I can't even play. But for office/ internet stuff?! amazing! I even use fusion 360 and it works great
