Crowdsourcing my next computer purchase: I've landed a couple of freelance projects that require Windows 11, which none of our personal computers can run. I'm looking for any recommendations that balance budget-friendliness with #accessibility and performance. What do you like and why? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

in reply to Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 • • •1. Asus VivoBook S15, but with aluminum lid. bought two of them (actually one S15 for myself and one S14 for my wife) in 2019, still rocking. Good keyboard (S15 with numpad, S14 without but lighter and less bulky), quite a bearable sound card, doesn't spoil and influence USB sound (unlike a Dell I have).
2. Lenovo thinkPad. Reviewed by Jonathan Mosen and seen by my best friend, but needs to be chosen carefully, some generations are quite off performance-wise.
3. Framework: a modular DIY-style computer but can be ordered assembled already. Great keyboard, according to my best friend, a company with human face.
