I use an Asus Vivobook Pro 16x. It's got a big, beautiful OLED screen, decent keyboard and trackpad, and runs fast enough for most things I do on it. It was also 1/3rd of the cost of the Macbook Pro I had to return.
(Unfortunately, Macbooks cause severe eyestrain for me, for some unknown reason.)
This laptop works quite well for my purposes; and I agree with the sentiment from a few other people, that it's almost a relief to not have a "perfect" laptop. It just works -- good enough.
I have an external bluetooth speaker when I want good sound. I have a good webcam, if I want to look professional on video. If I buy a new laptop, these will go with it. Not everything has to be built in, it turns out.
I also have an overpowered desktop, when I need to do serious video editing.
I'm on Windows -- I just don't have the time to fiddle with Linux. Though, I do that sometimes anyways, it tends to be a time sink.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoI too highly recommend getting a laptop with an OLED screen, they reduce eye strain, especially at night. I run an ASUS Zenbook and am mostly happy with it, except for trackpad palm rejection which is probably not ASUS's fault. I haven't tried tuning it yet. I run Linux, which means I made sure the laptop didn't have any Nvidia products inside.
