       I am now finally seriously looking at new #laptops. This especially comes at a good time where I got a large sum of money thanks to leftover student aid for university, so I will use that money wisely to buy a new laptop while I still can. At the same time, however, it also comes at a time where we're facing a RAM shortage, so I *really* need to buy one right now because things did not get better the last time I said that!Right now, at the top of my list is a brand-new Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3, one with an AMD Ryzen 7 250, 16 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD (my friend may provide me with a 1 TB drive I can swap in later). All in all it comes at just over $700 (USD) before taxes and all that stuff. So far it feels like a good deal, and I'm shocked at the price of it honestly.I will continue to look for more laptops, especially if there is one with a newer CPU available or of the likes, just out of curiosity. Suggestions are always appreciated too! :D

       @gperson Just check if it is possible to swap the SSD's.. some of the Thinkpads have soldered drives nowadays (althou I think it is the those Carbon series)

       @selea I've already seen some with soldered RAM, and if this particular model has either that or a soldered drive then it's instantly a no-go. Thank you for reminding me though! I'll double check!

       @selea After quickly double checking, both the RAM and SSD are removable, so this model remains on my list of models to be considered.
