What’s the laptop right now with the best “Quality × Performance / Price” ratio? I want to make sure every dollar I spend is worth it.
- My budget is around $2,000 ± $500.
- I’m fine upgrading the hardware myself
- don’t need Windows preinstalled if that saves me money
- at least 32GB of RAM.
- Size: any
- Screen: any
Basically, I’m looking for a high-performance, high-quality gaming laptop that worth its money.
Thank you for your suggestions!
Now is the time to scope out used Lenovo thinkbooks if you’re good installing Linux on it.
Businesses everywhere tossing them out now that win10 support is dead.
To better answer your question, well need to know what you’re using it for in general. Gaming? Coding stuff? Just a social media and TV browsing box? Creating or editing content?

Thanks for the tip! But in my case I really need a brand new laptop, (because it’s not for me)

Gaming, Coding, AI… I would need the laptop to perform well under all those circumstances. so basically high end gaming laptop. Could you give me some recommendations?
If you need AI, you need a minimum of 4gb VRAM in your GPU. But really… 8gb…
Get a Lenovo Thinkpad new with 8gb VRAM and 32gb ram. With a 4k display and 2TB nvme SSD, I am guessing will ballpark around $2k depending on CPU.
I’m willing to go above 2000, 4k display is not really important to me and I care most about Quality × Performance / Price, is lenovo the best with its competitors regarding high Quality × Performance / Price?
In many Linux users opinion, yes. The Lenovo Thinkpad is goated. I’d share that opinion. Very happy with mine and it’s 6 years old. If it’s still in price range, see if you can find one with an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU, recent gens.
What’s games are you looking at playing and what computer tasks? If its all fps then only GPU matters. If its sim games you’ll want a decent CPU.
I need both decent GPU and CPU, so basically high end gaming laptop. Could you give me some recommendations?
Framework 16 will give you longevity and options if the idea of upgrading components down the road appeals to you. You can get it with a 12/24 Ryzen CPU and a 5070 Ti currently.
I have take a look at it recently, really great work framework did, but it really is not high Quality × Performance / Price
What is quality to you?
solid material to be used 5 year+ withour having to replace anything
The more expensive it is, the better it will perform. All laptops are generally ripoffs. You know what you’re looking for already, just browse the stores
All laptops are generally ripoffs
true and very sad, but what is the best Quality × Performance / Price in the choices we have
But there isn’t a good indicator for Quality × Performance / Price, I really don’t know how to choose in all those options
