I got a lower-end Asus laptop a few years ago and it's starting to show its age. The laptop is not completely unusable yet, so I can still use it for a few more months. I would prefer to spend $500 or less on a laptop, though it may be hard to find a good one without going to the used market. I'm looking for something that is sturdy, has a good battery life, good hardware compatibility with Linux, and has 16 gigs of RAM. I do not need anything crazy powerful, just enough for some light gaming (games such as TF2 and Gmod come to mind) and potentially AutoCAD.

they'll also rotate in massive discounts on and off over the year the akro mills company so sometimes those are sold much cheaper and the used sellers reduce price way further. Such a simple but effective workshop project
