Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years.

The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade.

Things which I do :

  1. Read documents
  2. Watch videos and listen to music
  3. Light coding
  4. Tinker with almost everything
  5. Try new software if i can.

I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.

    Just don’t get a modern HP laptop, or any old ones for that matter. They’re crap (personal experience). If you are not planning on playing modern AAA games then probably an older thinkpad would do. A friend of mine has an upgraded X1 Carbon gen 1, but i recommend something a little bit more modern for your usecases. I don’t know about battery life tho.
