I am going to buy a InfinityBook Pro 15 - Gen9 - AMD by TUXEDO. A bit over budget for you, but i definitely think it’s worth the price (1300€). The company is devoted to supporting Linux and offers a wider range of personalization on your laptop (Keyboard, OS installed etc etc).

Also, worth noting: 5 years of warranty is pretty nice.

EDIT: Framework is very expensive in my opinion. If you are willing to spend 1600€, then have a look at TUXEDO or System76. For that price range you will make more value out of your money.

I am the same, I normally take care of my laptop and smartphones.

Thank you for your solid feedback! 😊

Probably 10+ hours on normal usage. (Document Editor, Video Streaming etc) Anything more demanding will cut the battery life for sure.

Ye, but this Laptop is advertised for 10+ hours of battery life, and i don’t think i need anything better.

That model is a beast. I haven’t bought it yet, but i am sure i will (Steam Summer Sale) 😂

For what you get 1350€ is nothing, and they also give a 5 year warranty which is nice. The Display is perfect for media consumption, 10+ hours of battery life, the AMD CPU is a beast.

Thanks friend!

Thanks for your feedback. :)

I need a laptop for studying, my current one is heavy and the battery doesn’t last much. + I want something that could last at least 5-6 years if not more.

My budget is around that price, because i know i will not replace it any time soon.

I heard the tuxedo-center app can be installed in different distro too, and it works fine. Ye, i will probably go for it.

Ye, but i don’t really game on my laptop anymore (i have one with RTX 2060 6GB), since i play only on my Steam Deck now. At this point the integrated graphic is enough to play some light games, and I’d rather have long battery life than raw power.

Thank you for your answer. Ye, frameworks laptops are pretty expensive. Do you think for the price, the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 15 - Gen9 - AMD is worthy? I like the screen, and the battery life is also good. The CPU is somewhat pretty powerful and for my daily usage would be more than enough.

The integrated graphic would be only for light gaming which is ok, since i have a Steam Deck.

I was just curious about any feedbacks on the company.

My next Laptop will be Pangolin 15’ from System76. A bit on the expensive side, but the unlimited support and the right to repair make it worth it. Following the specs, so you can have a look.

Like is not PRO, because you can do some light gaming on it, but definitely a good machine in my opinion.

I think everything goes against the battery? Did you try to recalibrate it? Discharge the battery completely, and then go into the BIOS and wait until it turns off. Now charge it for a couple of hours while it stills off.

I don’t think it is gonna fix anything, because it seems like a battery problem. Maybe try to get one from iFixIt, I had bad experiences with batteries from Amazon (if you got it from them).

I usually use that to install updates.

Why don’t you try becoming comfortable with Linux while using it in a Virtual Machine? I tried different distros too, and then I decided which one was the best for me.

We can’t really suggest you one, if we don’t know what you are going to use it for.

You may want to do some research, because different distros have different purposes (gaming, privacy, programming, easy to use etc etc).

Let us know, what your use cases will be?

It was hard for me too, but PopOS made my life easy back in the day when I first tried.

No drivers needed, everything worked out of the box, including the Nvidia GeForce 2060 Mobile. So I just needed to get comfortable with the OS in general.

Good job on that! Linux is way better for average uses like you described. 😊

Thanks for asking.

I am a very casual gamer, and at the beginning I might have struggled a bit with all the mechanics of Proton, Lutris etc etc.

When I look for games I usually double check on ProtonDB, if there is any fix to be applied. For this reason, I can say 95% of MY games are just install and play.

The only game I had a problem with was Skyrim, which needed a FPS limiter to avoid glitching at the beginning.

I started my gaming experience (PC) with Linux. So I disagree.
