What brands/products do you AVOID because of their poor longevity?
HP Business laptops are built different however. I've never seen an Elitebook or Probook fail without user fault. Try getting a used 3 year old ones that enterprises sell at a fraction of the price. Same goes for Lenovo ThinkPads.

What laptop should I buy in 2025
That's really the best and worst thing about framework. I could spend a YEAR thinking about MY configuration. I can't even fathom deciding someone else's. That's why in my original comment, I said Mac. It's a general purpose laptop that has touchscreen support. Other than that, it's usually brand loyalty. I wouldn't get a gaming laptop imo if Minecraft and Minecraft like games are your biggest computation (I love stardew valley and I can play it on virtually anything). Gaming Laptops are extremely power hungry. Most run a few hours, maybe 4 MAX on battery. I daily a Lenovo Z13. I love it, I basically sleep with it. If you can find a refurb model, you'd save 400ish bucks, I'd recommend it. It's on the smaller slide. Like most kids board books would be larger than it. It's great on battery life, and it's a good keyboard feel. It's touchscreen too, but I don't really use it that often. I think I got mine (the 1st Gen) for about 700 bucks, nearly brand new a year ago. Laptops isn't really a BIFL thing, because technology ages very quickly. Hardware becomes too capable and more efficient, and the software stays near tandem to support it. This makes a laptop worth 1k bucks 2 years ago, easily 500 dollars now.

What laptop should I buy in 2025
No worries. I love Lenovo. I use the Lenovo Z13 (1st Gen) as my Daily. I don't like the direction Lenovo is going. But oh well. I'll probably buy a framework if I ever warrant the money. I like bulkier laptops, and I think the general consumer doesn't agree (I say that as I daily a 13 inch laptop lol). I always purchase laptops refurbished or for parts, and so I can most of my stuff for around 20% of their original price. Laptops can be fun, but there are succinct hardware limits. Unlike in a desktop, you can't just replace the motherboard to support X chip. If the laptop never had a release that had Y in it, you're SOL.

Which laptop should I buy in 2025?
Would love some help from this group - I'm a graduate student MBA and just started an Financial Planning firm. I will be heavily using excel, writing on word, building presentations, and running Financial planning software as well as tax software. I need a Microsoft office suite.

I'd say go for a well specd lenovo thinkpad from ebay, especially the t14 gen 1 or gen2 based on your budget, they are the same but the second one is better

Best laptop currently?
If you’re in the market for windows laptops imo Lenovo enterprise models have a good life span on them. We manage a fleet (Lenovo t14) and expect 6 years economic life out of them, but have some that have easily got to 10 years. Keyboards and drives are replaceable although I think the new models do not have replaceable ram.

Help Me Find the Ultimate Durable Laptop Under 700 USD for Streaming, Classes, and Daily Use!
T480 dies Get t490 or get a t14 with as much ram as you can get since most aren't upgradable like the t480 and of course if Amd is available get it over Intel

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
I know nothing about technology, but my partner is an IT manager and he set me up with a Lenovo. He originally recommended a Thinkpad, but I ended up with the Yoga just due to a promotional price. One feature I love about Lenovo is the battery saver options, I've got mine set so that it uses power directly from the outlet and bypasses my battery, and cap my battery charge at 80%. Again, I know nothing, my partner set me up this way, but it makes me feel better about my battery lasting forever.

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
Oh no when I worked in IT all those years ago MacBooks and thinkpads where the only thing that lasted.

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
The only “brand” for long term use these days is Apple. If you don’t want macOS then you need to start looking at models. Every brand will come out with its own problem models each cycle. Generally you want to look for the business class models, dell latitude(whatever it’s called now), thinkpad t or x series, hp elitebook/probook. Generally these models will have longer product cycles and service manuals. I would not buy a laptop that doesn’t have a service manual. There is framework which has some amazing repairability and good product design but is a newer product with some teething issues, higher pricing and more complex support processes. Framework does offer the option to keep your chassis and upgrade your motherboard.

Has everything we buy reduced in quality over time? Has anything increased in quality or stayed high quality and durable?
They've gone this way a bit with Thinkpads, but they're still relatively repairable. But I'm typing this from a 2024 Thinkpad X1, which has clearly made a bunch of compromises in favor of compactness. A\~2014 Thinkpad X or T series would have had a more modular keyboard and modular RAM. It would have had a removable battery. This one has the RAM soldered onto the motherboard, the keyboard probably built into the case, and I'd have to unscrew the back to replace the battery. Yet it's way lighter, the screen is markedly better, the battery life is long enough that I don't really even want to carry a spare. And the whole package is a lot less expensive (inflation-adjusted). I think Lenovo has done pretty well at keeping the best things about Thinkpads good while adapting them to modern desires. Aside from deleting the physical mouse buttons for a while I'm even a fan of their keyboard/touchpoint/touchpad combo.
