Hi! So I recently found ZorinOS because I was looking for a new laptop that would come with Linux installed out of the box. They seem to have a deal with different computer vendors and I was wondering if anyone has tried them, or can give some feedback on them or any other vendors?
I'm looking for something lightweight for traveling, mostly for browsing and watching videos, but also coding with something like VSCode or PyCharm and the occasional virtual machine for testing (and trying other Linux distros). Nothing too heavy but I'd like the fluency while multitasking.
I found this one to be almost perfect but I don't know if the processor is enough (sorry, can't say I know much about these things): https://starlabs.systems/pages/star-lite The quality seems good and very portable. This other one is a bit heavier but has a better processor and bigger screen, and I think that 13"~14" is about the right size for what I'll be using it for: https://www.skikk.eu/en/laptops/14nl41.
This second one is already on the limit of my budget, 600EUR is my top. And yes... I know refurbishsed is an option but I'd like to explore the market for brand new Linux laptops
So what are your opinions and recommendations? Thanks!
