I’m looking at getting myself a new laptop to replace my Dell Inspiron. I’ll be using it for some on the go video editing.

I watch TheLinuxExperiment and he seems happy enough with Tuxedo Laptops. I was looking at the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen5 - AMD but I’m open to other recommendations.

    I love my T16 gen1. The P16 is more upgradable but also much more expensive. But basically yeah, you just have to pick the right model and specs.

        Most parts are replaceable, but I think at most only RAM and SSD are upgradable on the newer models. It’s truly disgusting that that’s become a feature and not the bare minimum.

        On the T16 I have one soldered RAM slot and one replaceable. Of course the SSD can be upgraded too.

        The P16 (not the P16s which is just a T16) has four upgradable RAM slots and two slots for SSD.

        So that’s not crazy amounts of upgradability but it’s something.

        I actually got a Legion Pro 5 instead because it’s a lot cheaper but still has 2 upgradable RAM slots and two SSD slots. My only complaint is that the keyboard is less stable than on a thinkpad and it looks like a gaming laptop.

        Someday I’ll get a P16 though… or else one of those Eurocom laptops, if only they had 16:10 screens and nice keyboards.
