Hi all. Apologies if this has been asked before. I searched but didn't find an answer.
I have used Linux (and Windows) a few years ago and am comfortable with installing and re-installing both operating systems.
I currently use Mac OS but want to familiarise myself with Linux again. I want to buy a laptop with Windows installed and dual boot it with Linux - I intend to try a few distros. I won't be using it for anything mission critical - it is purely to play with the os. - maybe with an intention to change over fully in the future.
I don't need/want the very highest spec machine but do want one that capable of running any distro and is somewhat future proof. I've been looking at Dell and Lenova. One thing I do absolutely want is a good build quality laptop. I don't want anything that feels cheap and plasticy.
Reason being, I want it to stand the test of time - like my MacBook. I want a laptop that's well built and capable of running Windows and any Linux distro I can throw at it.
Any suggestions? And thanks.
