Would like to spend under or around 1k.

My refurbished laptop that I got from work crapped out and I need a new one. I'd like to do light gaming, like Cult of Lamb or Disco Elysium and that would probably be the most heavy use application that I need it for. I'm also a caveman and can be pretty rough on my things, I think my last laptop ate it because I dropped it like 3 feet to the ground by knocking it off my couch on accident. So something that's somewhat durable, but I do not plan on throwing it across the room lol.

I plan on learning how to use Linux; I know next to nothing about it but have just heard good things and I think I'm just computer savvy enough to figure it out. Also any suggestions on solid alternatives to things like Word, Google docs, etc would me super appreciated!

If you do go the t480 route: max ram is 64gb, you can put a shorty b or b+m keyed nvme drive in addition to either a 2.5” or full size nvme drive in the sata bay. Buy for display/processor and don’t get the discrete gpu.

They’re great computers.
