Looking for advice buying a laptop - lists of requirements inside in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] HamalaKarris@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I actually wasn't aware until now that the T14 exists in a touchscreen version, I currently have a T15 and my girlfriend has a T14 and we are both more than satisfied with them. Will definitely look into getting a touch-enabled T14 :-)

My countries version of craigslist basically, prices for used Thinkpads/ laptops especially seem pretty cheap here I think? I also just bought a T15 with brand new battery, 32 gigs of RAM, an i7 and a dedicated GPU for 320€.

If it's worth the price I would also be down to spend a bit more than 300 - sadly though after checking there are a total of 2 used Framework laptops on sale in my country total - and both are non-touchscreen versions sadly :/

Edit: after having a look at the Framework 12 it seems basically exactly what I'm asking for - apart from the fact that it won't be out for another half a year and the price point of 570€ with an i3 and 0 GB of storage and RAM - I'm guessing I could pick this up used in a couple of years but until then I'm still looking for recommendations ;)

Looking for advice buying a laptop - lists of requirements inside (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone!

I just bought a Lenovo Yoga L13 Gen2 and I am greatly disappointed, after installing Arch on it it's overheating a lot even when I only have Firefox open. During my research buying this laptop I also made the mistake of not checking if the RAM can be upgraded and now I'm stuck with 8 GB of soldered on, non-upgradable RAM.

Anyways this is why I'm turning to you, I spent hours upon hours researching trying to find the perfect laptop to buy before settling on this one, and since the result was so catastrophic I figured why not ask around in the community a bit.

I was only going to buy a used model since my budget isn't that big. The laptop is intended for browsing and some (Java) coding, so it doesn't need to be extremely powerful. The main use case is for a small laptop that I can use on my lap on the couch or in my recliner to browse or do some coding while using Arch Linux.

My MUST have requirements are:

  • 13 inch screen (max 14 inch)
  • Touchscreen with at least Full HD (1920x1080) resolution
  • Good/ perfect Arch Linux support
  • Good cooling/ doesn't get super hot

Ideally the following requirements should also be met:

  • Touchpad buttons with dedicated middle-mouse-button
  • Backlit Keyboard
  • Bright screen
  • Upgradble RAM or alternatively 16 GB RAM version available

I intend to spend around 300€ max used, for reference I paid 190€ for the L13 Gen2 with 94% battery health.

I would prefer a laptop that isn't older than 8th/9th Gen Intel and equivalent AMD. I would be open to models with Intel and AMD chips.

I am so grateful for anyone who sees this post and comes up with some suggestions, after hours upon hours of research I am a bit exhausted and desperate for some community suggestions.

Have an awesome day everybody! :-)

Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk? (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone! :)

I am currently looking to replace Obsidian with a self-hostable alternative (that preferably also uses Markdown - but it's not a must) but instead of storing the files directly on disk has a way to have all the files within in an encrypted vault / binary format.

Reason being I have very very sensitive data that needs to be stored (employee & medically related).

I read that Logseq used to support this feature but it has since been deprecated, some light googling didn't surface any results other than that so I would be delighted if anyone had any suggestions!

Thanks so much in advance for any and all help! :)

edit: Forgot to mention that it needs to support Linux as well as Android
