So, I’m planning on buying myself a (second-hand) laptop once I get the money. I’m nowhere near tech-savvy so it has to be easy to use, but also I want something that is built to last, as opposed to certain (looking at you, Apple) devices that are desinged to become unusable within a next couple of years.

Any recommendations?

    Apple products are notorious for lasting a long time. Why would you think they break quickly?

    If you’re against apple i would suggest a second hand thinkpad.

      We just retired my MBP from 2014 this year. 10 years of usage for a laptop is crazy. And we could have kept it going with a battery swap but we opted to get a new Air which are super nice.

      Apple is expensive but you get what you pay for.

      I stopped using my MacBook Air after 9 years. I did a battery swap at some point, and I think I replaced the charger after the cable frayed. Best windows machine I ever ran.
