Currently using macmini i5 from 2014 and HP i7 from 2016. Wary about purchasing from woke companies and don't want to upgrade for a good long time. Budget of 2000$. Would appreciate the input of battle-hardened keyboard warriors.

Combination. Mostly browsing and video-editing. I hate the constant upgrading which is causing problems with MAC OS10. HP has no problems handling any applications but often unusable 'cos memory is loose or something. I get the beeps and have to open case and jiggle memory.
If you go linux, install kdenlive for video editing. It's sweet.
👍
You don't need to go overboard on specs, but there are some things you will need based on your use-case.
Invest in a decent keyboard and mouse though, and maybe a high end ultra-wide monitor if you don't have one, although that might tip you over your budget.
Any decent online 'system builder' site should be able to help you fine-tune this a bit. If I missed anything someone will be along to point it out :)
Mucho gracias
I’ve heard about these sdd’s. Are they really as fast as they say?
They're a little bit slower than the RAM installed in your system.
Does that answer the question? ;)
Yeah. I need to build a new dinosaur. My old one is a gaming machine but it runs on 8gb ram and hdd that just gets slower
I've always purchased my hardware components/upgrades from Newegg.com
