To be used for work. Gaming not a concern, might play FM at most which works on anything.
Requirements:
- last a long long time.
- Compatibility with phone. Afraid of Mac for this reason. Not an iPhone user. Also afraid of learning curve and office suite. My work requires a lot of those files being shared around.
- i7
- latest gen
- ssd storage
- decent ram


Newest Lenovo thinkpad you can afford. The current gen (arrow lake I think) intel are fine but the previous gen werent great, but the AMD were fine.
Think pad has been the consistent recommendation I’ve been getting. Thanks
