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 :)

Just got a Nimo laptop, a little unsure about it. I really, really, really hate the keyboard but hopefully I get used to it. One thing that's driving me crazy is that the I-shaped cursor turns white sometimes when hovering over text boxes, making it effectively invisible. But it doesn't happen every time, only sometimes. Is there any way to fix that or is there a reason why these laptops are so cheap?

Bought a laptop and received it less than 48 hours ago, everything was going well. Then the computer shut off out of nowhere while being used. Black screen, black keyboard with 0 sign of life. Battery was at 50%.
Hard reset it and everything. Im at the point of charging it again and retrying tomorrow. Any clue why it would do this?
