LVikrama on 15/10/2020 - 17:26

Hello All,
Hope all are well and G’Day.

I’ve been looking to buy a laptop for my work purpose. I’ve plans to pursue DevOps career so that laptop performance should be good.
My requirements,
I7 10th gen and above, 16GB RAM, screen size 14-15 inch. A good batter life. Not worried about HDD. Also expecting the laptop is lighter.
Budget is <= 2500.
somehow I’m hesitant in Dell models and if you strongly recommend with your personal experience, I would definitely consider to buy it.

Thanks in advance for your valuable comments to lighten me in this and really appreciating that helpful minds.

Cheers,
Vikram.

    Why intel?

    With that budget you've got a wide range to choose from. Do you have any i/o requirements?

      Thanks for your reply. No, I do have any I/o requirements.

    Its above your price range but I suggest you look at the Aorus 15G, I've got one, it has a mechanical keyboard, intel 10th gen 8c/16t CPU and 2060 and doing anything on it is a dream. I do a lot of coding on it and also heaps of writing for my Uni degree.

    If its for work purposes, remember its tax deductible, and you can depreciate it over 4 years.

    I was like you and looked for something powerful around that price range for similar reasons, and I'm glad that I spent that bit extra, especially as I can claim it for work.

      Sure, i will have a look at it. Thanks for your reply.

    I bought a refurbished acer swift 3 for $500. I'm using this bfor coding. Its got 8gb ram, 512 ssd and decent cpu. Take a look there.

    I would look at a business laptop like a Thinkpad, Dell Latitude or Hp Elitebook.

    Not only that you will get great battery life. The keyboard on these business tier machine are a joy to type on which I personally think it essential to a good programming machine.

    I'm ideally a Thinkpad fan. So if I was looking at your requirements in the Thinkpad Lineup, I would go for T14 or T14s. You can also look at a yoga or carbon series ThinkPad laptop. I'm sure HP or Dell will have something simlar as well.

      I have been sneaking up on Yoga series. But they offer only limited ports:(

        Have you considered about using a usb-c or thunderbolt 3 docking station? You can expand your port selection when your on your desk and have a ultralight machine on the go.
