Personally I like Dell laptops, I’ve had a few Inspirons. I tend to upgrade laptops every 5-7 years and my Dells always still work okay at the end. Lenovos are also decent, my work laptops are all Lenovos and they last a decent time and they don’t feel cheap. To last a really long time you don’t want to cheap out too much, you’ll want to go for the best gpu/cpu laptop you can afford with a ssd drive (maybe even an extra m.2 slot so you can get extra storage). Remember that expensive doesn’t equal good, there are lots of laptops with shitty gpu/cpu set ups that are $800+ but will be the same quality as a cheap $200 chromebook. Find a few laptops you like and look up the benchmarks of their components, you’ll want the best ones bc in 5-7 years they’ll probably be mid range or upper low range. So more than usable in the future, vs getting a midrange set up now it’ll be pretty out of date in a few years. If performance isn’t a big deal I’d still go higher end now just so it can stay usable for a long time. Tech changes fast so can’t guarantee it, but a high end set up should be able to last 10 years pretty easily if you’re aren’t gaming or video editing

Unpopular opinion: Dell Inspiron laptops are absolute workhorses, the Toyota Camry of laptops. I worked on one as a tutor and the college had like 89 of them that lasted forever. I bought one in 2020 that had the maximum hardware capacities, and it’s now 4.5 years old with no issues. I love a good value, but I second everyone saying Lenovo Thinkpads and MacBooks! Very solid machines.
