What's the closest thing to my dream laptop?

Post date: 2020-10-19 18:34:39

I'm currently using a 2014 Lenovo X1 Carbon, and I'm looking for an upgrade on display and style. My dream laptop: <3 lbs.; 12-14"; powerful enough for browsing, streaming, & Zoom; has a great display, good camera, and decent battery life; runs Linux with no issues; has a trackpoint (without or with a trackpad); and has an attractive aluminum case that does not have an apple on it. I don't think that exists, so what's the closest thing? I'm willing to compromise on just about anything but the size/weight and the apple.

In case my silliness is too opaque: Apple products, with or without the logo, aren't an option. I'd also prefer not a Chromebook, but open to convincing arguments if I can ditch ChromeOS.

I'm familiar with Wirecutter's current recommendations; what else is there?
