I know someone with a $1000 XPS laptop and it had a hardware problem 1 month out of warranty that made the thing unusable. They ended up paying over $250 for repairs which didn't end up fixing the problem. Huge waste of time and money
What laptop do you have?

Now exclude all the shit budget models like the ones sold at Walmart.
Every manufacturer has budget models except Apple.

>You just get so much work done on OSX
FagOS window management its garbage. Macs are only better for productivity because of their god-tier trackpads.

>it's basically like a normal low end laptop but capable of gaming/hard work
There is no magical "gaming" switch on laptops user, if it's low end, it's low end.

if you play videogames I got a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming Series 7567 Laptop and I like it. It was cheaper back when I bought it though, I got it for like $670 and its like $950 now for some reason. The screen is shitty but thats the only downside. Also I wish I had gotten the 17 inch.
If you dont play videogames just get a used thinkpad off ebay. Corporations and government agencies buy tons of them and replace them every couple of years, so there is always lots of used ones from 2 years ago for a reasonable price. I got mine for 90 bucks and put linux on it. Thinkpads are well made. Nice keyboard, magnesium frame, etc. I know you said no Jow Forums but they really do love their thinkpads and have an entire sticky on it.

I used to work in a computer repair shop. We got HPs constantly. I never once saw someone bring in a lenovo.
