I haven’t owned a functioning laptop in like, ten years because my phone does most of what I like, but I (probably) have tendinitis and carpal tunnel and need something more ergonomic for my terminally online needs. Arguing with strangers on the internet is not as effective on a cell phone lol.

I’m mostly streaming media, researching online and screwing around on lemmy. I’m interested in toying around with linux just to try it as an OS but would probably want to keep windows because Im not super tech savvy as people here seem to be. That said I can figure things out pretty quickly if I put my mind to it. I would like the ability to game if I wanted, but that might mean a whole different beast so if I could even run at least SNES roms or something like that that would be cool. I’d also like a decent sized screen, 16 inches at least. Hoping not to spend more than 1k if possible but I’m old and don’t know what the average price is really for something that’s upper-middle quality so whatever clever.

Thanks for any recommendations!

    Easy to repair and upgrade as well. Big fan of my Thinkpad T440P
