I'm in the market for a new laptop. Preferably under $2000 and have good specs. 16 GB ram minimum and 500 GB SSD minimum. What recommendations does Lemmy have? If more details are needed please specify what and I'll answer

EDIT: thank you everyone for the answers πŸ™‚ I do not need anymore suggestions

You could not go wrong with a older MacBook. This way you will get great support with updates and a well build device that can last a long time. :)

For example, this is a pretty good one!

Thanks for the link, I'm looking at the macbooks right now. Do you own one yourself?

Yes I do! I got mine in 2014 and still use it every day! Last year I changed the battery and repasted the cpu and it still got plenty of life in it. Let people think whatever they want but if you want solid build quality and good support, you can’t beat a Mac. :)
