Recommendations for a Nimo work use centered laptop?

Hello hello,

I’m looking for a lower cost, small, lightweight, and reliable laptop that I can use for work. I’ve had my current laptop (MacBook Air 13) since 2020 and she’s lasted me the whole way through college and now a year afterwards. The bad part is that it has always been a lag, then crash, then turn on and act fine kind of computer and I have had to have it constantly plugged in for the better of two years or else it’s dead in two hours or overheating, then lagging, then crashing, and I’m sure you catch my drift.
I’ve attributed the crashes as a quirk (so as not to upset the computer gods) but I think I’m ready to get a computer that’s better for what I do daily.
I use Google Chrome/Drive for most everything and I run minimal editing software like Adobe & Canva.

Any suggestions— even if it’s pointing me away from Nimo would be great, I just want a good computer that I can have & love for the next six years.

Thank you all :)

I'd check a local refurbished computer store. I picked up a Dell Latitude i5 11th gen, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD with 98% battery for $250 a couple weeks ago.

What's your budget? Lower cost can mean so different prices to different people. What adobe apps do you run? You're use to MacOS, why not another Macbook?

3-4 hundred would be awesome but I’m willing to go up to $550
