    Sir! What can you say about the transition that Microsoft wanted us to do in 2024/2025 through facing out the windows 10 operating system in turn for windows 11 based on your expertise as a programmer and what can you recommend for the ones who are going to center those years in their colligate life or career?

    You will be on the bleeding edge with the M1 Macs if you use virtualization, docker, and similar technologies.



  3. 93hothead on August 5, 2021 at 9:24 pm

    Programming with mac lol



  4. ICTCSSJohnfel on August 5, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    How about an asus brand laptop review for com csi students



  5. Om Dalvi on August 5, 2021 at 9:26 pm

    Which is better for programming, Intel or AMD in laptop cpus?



  6. Sabin Sesumariyan on August 5, 2021 at 9:27 pm

    Practice makes master . Not only tools😍😍



  7. Glass_skincare_routine on August 5, 2021 at 9:28 pm

    Computer science first year student is Mac air good ? Or what shall I get ?



  8. Stepan D on August 5, 2021 at 9:28 pm

    I like how he starts talking about youtubers recommending laptops they haven’t tested, and then proceeds to recommend Razer Blade as a laptop for gamers, which throttles unless you have AC pointed directly at its internals



  9. Bits of Interest on August 5, 2021 at 9:28 pm

    2:56 "you can have multiple CPU’s these days so things can run in parallel". Do you mean cores? Also the cores aren’t big or small, just slower or faster and more or less of them…

    "Ten youtube tab" you forgot the 20 stackoverflow threads



  11. iain y on August 5, 2021 at 9:30 pm

    Why do these kinds of things never consider ruggedness? I want to know that my laptop won’t die if my dog jumps on it dammit.



  12. Dharvendra Kachhi on August 5, 2021 at 9:33 pm

    Hi ,
    Is Macbook Pro m1 (2020) Good for oracle and warehouse coding? 16GB



  13. Diogo Xavier on August 5, 2021 at 9:35 pm

    I always get the feeling that people that say OS lock-in is "dumb" have no idea what it’s like to have a Linux config optimized for your workflow. Nothing even comes close.



  14. Richard Aik on August 5, 2021 at 9:35 pm

    I agree with the disk size fully 🙂



  15. Stay Away on August 5, 2021 at 9:37 pm

    I bought a 2021 Razer Blade… for… Web Development…



  16. Jim Xu on August 5, 2021 at 9:37 pm

    Display and keyboard actually are the most relevant hardware requirements to me, everything nowadays can factor out to the cloud. Yeah, OS has to be Unix based, a functional and eye-friendly terminal is a must.



  17. Sundhar on August 5, 2021 at 9:38 pm

    Should i go for 16:10 laptop or 16:9?



  18. django vincent jaganyi on August 5, 2021 at 9:38 pm

    I think you could have just labeled 🏷this episode as "MAC the laptop and OS to programming with"😒



  19. زوزو on August 5, 2021 at 9:44 pm

    Guys pls suggest me best laptop not gamming idk which brand i can take lonovo dell hp assus msi



  20. Yago Dórea on August 5, 2021 at 9:46 pm

    I think I wouldn’t recommend the M1 chipset for programmers especially because of portability. Most cloud computers run on x86 processors, I wouldn’t like building software on ARM locally and finding out weird behaviours in a cloud environment.



  21. James Long on August 5, 2021 at 9:46 pm

    I have never used an intangible keyboard before, what’s that like?



  22. Andrew Hanna on August 5, 2021 at 9:47 pm

    Isn’t the M1 an Apple designed system on a chip ARM architecture CPU…why the fuck would I buy a low power chip from a first time CPU developer for the same price as Intel or AMD? Apple up it’s own ass again, and to be sure this M1 chip will start failing after 2 years because Apple can’t even design an efficient cooling system let alone something as complicated as a CPU.



  23. Dräkkø Fïrê on August 5, 2021 at 9:47 pm

    The MSI Prestige 15 works like a charm for programming too 😉



  24. Todd DeLozier on August 5, 2021 at 9:49 pm

    Programming is text editing… But if you can afford a Macbook, keep your money 😄



  25. Ismael Varela on August 5, 2021 at 9:49 pm

    Dude, you make a video for programers and splain what a cpu is?



  26. Vidrusen on August 5, 2021 at 9:50 pm

    Is the razor blade 15 base good for programming too. I’m a gamer but gonna start a two year education in programming. Was locking at the razor model but there are plenty of them. So was just wondering if that specific model is good for programming as well



  27. Mark Robbins on August 5, 2021 at 9:50 pm

    If your a beginning webdev, just grab any old laptop, LEARN THE TOOLING well, then next year, or two years, you can buy a new machine and set up your cockpit. New metal is a factor 5, learning tooling, libs and process are a factor 500. Use the extra money to take a girl on a date, get her interested in your shit, factor incalculable. Otherwise, just stay away from girls.



  28. wanderer1125 on August 5, 2021 at 9:50 pm

    great video! What do you think of gaming laptops to be used for programming mainly(with some gaming)? I’ve been considering some acer nitro or predator costing around 800-1000$ I thought the high RAM and improved cooling system would be of great help to run our tools/applications/etc? Will that do the job efficiently? or just plain overkill and unnecessary cost?



  29. Gaspar Kuhnen on August 5, 2021 at 9:53 pm

    2021, 8GB of RAM for a dev laptop? Doesnt make any sense



  30. Prakash Sunuwar on August 5, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    Thank you this is very helpful
    Would you recommend ipad pro for programming?



  31. К К on August 5, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    8 GB ram means your laptop will freeze as soon as you try to launch more than one docker container; imHo dev laptop = >16GBRAM



  32. Andre B on August 5, 2021 at 9:58 pm

    There’s only 3 mins of content related to what I actually cared about smh



  33. Pretty Boy on August 5, 2021 at 9:59 pm

    I can’t buy any of these because i am in india 🤣



  34. Oscar Hyde on August 5, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    Just to add, I would recommend some sort of GPU if you’re doing game dev too.



  35. Sprytny Chomik on August 5, 2021 at 10:01 pm

    I’m starting to lose hope that my X220 will ever have a worthy successor.



  36. I Am Unknown on August 5, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    Plz don’t buy dell I am using hinges break very fast



  37. পিপীলিকা 360 on August 5, 2021 at 10:04 pm

    I want to do programming.
    My budget is (BDT= 50k-60k). Which laptop is best for me? please help me.
    Actually i love HP Brand, But if the other is better than this, please let me know.



  38. Axel Ljungqvist on August 5, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    MacBook pro has had the M1 chip as long as the Air have had it. just not the 16"



  39. Asiimawe Pablo on August 5, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    Hey, Aaron I’m requesting that you make a video on touch typing.



  40. Joshua Grimaud on August 5, 2021 at 10:08 pm

    Hope someone has made this callout – and it is likely for my comment to get buried in the stack as I’m writing this 3.5 months after this came out – C#, .Net, and powershell dev workloads can be executed on Windows, Linux distros, and MacOS – UNLESS someone is supporting or, for some reason, still authoring .Net Framework applications. It’s been like this for 2 years. You won’t get the Visual Studio bells and whistles outside of Windows, but that’s a deliberate and sometimes personal choice.



  41. Thomas Covenant on August 5, 2021 at 10:09 pm

    I started programming with 1024 bytes on a ZX81. Since then all computers all so cool 😎 💻🧑‍💻



  42. Skinny ASSC on August 5, 2021 at 10:10 pm

    to me:
    if windows – Dell
    if ubuntu – ThinkPad
    if macOS – latest one.



  43. abdellatif dev on August 5, 2021 at 10:14 pm

    Linux coming with m1 support too, and I’m offended Linux is much easier than windows



  44. Yannick Durden on August 5, 2021 at 10:17 pm

    You forgot Huawei matebook 13 or 14, the price is lower than the models you gave



  45. dav on August 5, 2021 at 10:17 pm

    m1 macbook air (base model will do) is literally the best laptop for programming for the price



  46. समthing Intresting on August 5, 2021 at 10:18 pm

    After seing dozens of videos I come across this crazy video and was completely satisfied and clear now what I have to purchase



  47. Levy Roth on August 5, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    Raspberry Pi 8GB, that’s all anyone needs to code. Consumerism is not morally justifiable anymore in this day and age.



  48. Prudhvi Pokuri on August 5, 2021 at 10:20 pm

    Hai ..I want to surface laptop go 8gb 128gb variant for programming and coding…is it good or not ?? please reply

  50. NostalgicTaoist on August 5, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    The problem with all laptops, including the ones you recommend, is that the internal parts cannot be changed because more and more of them are soldered to the motherboard, etc. obsolescence programmed in your fucking face
