If you don't mind something a bit smaller Lenovo (bonus: AMD) (~$1000). The lenovo Flex series is a good value too.
Something a bit bigger, 16gb RAM and i7 ($1150).
Used XPS laptops are also great value. I know dell is shit overall, but they do quite well with their XPS line.
I've used all of these at one point or another, and for a general productivity laptop they are great and will last quite some time. Wasn't sure of your price range, but I looked up a used T495 and came up with around $1000. I have a few budget suggestions if that's higher than you were thinking.
I've got a used T495 bookmarked at $650. It's been awhile since I spent more than $1k on a computer so I don't feel I need something that much. I've been using a T430 for years if it I could get the 64-bit software I wouldn't care about upgrading.
Ahh, ok. I have recently purchased a few used HP Envy X360 laptops for family members cheaper than that. They're well built and dirt cheap used. One was i5/8GB ($380) another i7/16GB($500).
I had a Lenovo Yoga i7/12GB that I picked up for $700 that I used for a few weeks and sold to a friend.
I also have to use a new Dell Precision for work, and it's ok. Though I use it with a thunderbolt dock (2 monitors, mouse/keyboard). So not much experience with using the actual laptop.
Anyways, hope this helped share some options.
Yeah thanks I have a better list to check into now.
You used some form of Linux on those or just Windows?
