What would you recommend for a Linux laptop. Will multiboot with Windows 11.

Both with i5 10th gen. T490 with 24gb ram and 5410 with 16gb ram.

$200 USD for the dell and $260 USD for the Lenovo.

Just want to do basic office/web stuff. Only gaming would be Minecraft. looking for a quiet laptop with good thermals.

    T490. i personally had issues with dell laptops a few times. (hinge problem, coating on palmrest/trackpad peeling) also, i don’t like dell laptops’ keyboard layout but this is just personal preference.

    and 8gb more ram for $60 seems decent in todays prices. (afaik it’s soldered so not even upgradable?)
