I'm in the market for a new laptop. Preferably under $2000 and have good specs. 16 GB ram minimum and 500 GB SSD minimum. What recommendations does Lemmy have? If more details are needed please specify what and I'll answer

EDIT: thank you everyone for the answers 🙂 I do not need anymore suggestions

I heard ThinkPad Z13 Gen1 is good for linux environment.

You can choose Ubuntu (or Fedora) as pre-installed operating system to get a discount.

It is worth noting that at the time of purchase, selecting Ubuntu or Fedora in the system configuration on the Lenovo website applied a £155 discount! 🤑 Choosing Ubuntu or Fedora across the ThinkPad line applies a discount, although the amount varies based on the model.

Not much to go on , but my next will be apple. All previous hp elite and thinkpads. This since you now can run Linux properly on them.

You could not go wrong with a older MacBook. This way you will get great support with updates and a well build device that can last a long time. :)

For example, this is a pretty good one!
