Other details Looking for advice on what laptop to get
sup nerds, I need your majestic wisdom
I need a new laptop. current laptop is hindering my maximum nerdosity
problems with the old laptop, which is a Lenovo Flex 14:
Just to be clear, I never dropped or abused this laptop in any way. I did carry it in my backpack for classes and transportation, but it should be durable enough to handle that.
-Keyboard & Trackpad dont work (i've taken it to a repair shop and done my own work dont try to troubleshoot for me)
-Keyboard lagging (comes and goes randomly)
-Webcam broken (just broke randomly one day)
so i've gone and gotten a keyboard I've just hooked up to the laptop and a mouse so I can do my Unity work and school, but the keyboard lag is still an issue. I also cant take my laptop anywhere so its acting like a really week desktop rn. the keyboard lag is extraordinarily annoying when writing anything, like code or essays, and especially while playing games with my friends. I've only had the laptop a year.
Alot of the tech I've gotten lately has broken pre maturely. I am looking for a laptop with these conditions:
-Is not going to die on me just outside the warranty period
-is not going to develop stupid issues
-Has at least 12 gb of ram
-Has a ryzen 5 or 7
-Good-looking design
-1920 x 1080p display
-Fingerprint reader
-600-700 USD
Things i dont care about:
-high-capacity storage (128 is fine tbh i can upgrade later anyways.)
-backlit keyboard (why?)
I appreciate your suggestions.
