At 2000 usd it is too expensive for me. Is this a normal price for a new laptop? I am in the market for a new laptop and am a linux user.

- approxim8ion 5y agodepends what you want to do with it, I guess. I have a laptop running Linux that cost me $400 in 2016. Similar spec is $600 now. I'm fairly sure I can get by with what I do (YouTube, streaming, documents, web programming) fairly well with it.
- istingray 5y agoDefinitely check out System76. They're one of the few Linux-only laptop vendors. That means you're supporting the future of Linux by making it mainstream and helping more Linux-focused models exist. Dell and Lenovo put up with Linux but it's a side project for them at best. And other vendors dgaf.
