Does anyone have any suggestions for a certain model laptop to get or what to look for in a new laptop? Right now we are working with a $500 budget, so we are trying to make sure that the next laptop we get can out-live our previous one (which has lasted us quite some years).


Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If you plan on using Linux (which I would recommend), Thinkpads are really well supported. If not, they still run Windows well.
New Thinkpads are rather expensive, but you can get a used T420 on eBay for about $500.
