Lenovo ThinkPad T460p is fairly loving good, in my experience, and I'm posting from it right now.

you can't spell retanal without anal

conversely you can't spell "mishap is a recent deepthroating convert" without "deepthroating"

my last laptop was a thinkpad t430 and that and my current one got better when I destroyed it with a Linux.
Much better support for the clit mouse than on windows and uh I guess that's about it? But it's important to me.

ehh linux is ok on a desktop, but lacks creature comforts such as a good office suite and also every other type of software you could want.

word processors are categorically bad. libre is acceptable, as Word is not "better enough" to be worth money. keep what you do in them simple enough. if you need to embed media or have a bunch of particular formatting concerns use better tools
