I dont even need to watch this , Thinkpads like t480S , x1 CARBONS, depends if you dont need crazy processing and graphics, and Mac Hardware is good . That said, it has almost nothing to do with how good of a programmer you sare other than if your employer hooks you up with a beast for just working there.
Which keyboard layout is the one of the XPS 15 at 4:33 ?
What laptop are you using that has the type c charger of window
2:21 lol your screen is always dusty af 😂 btw why is your screen yellow like that? Like the whites are yellow. Also it may just be the light, but the volume icons and stuff on your control bar screen look red?
Literally any fucking machine will do. Buy the cheapest baseline models of something like dell or a ThinkPad . Just swap out the ram for a higher ram(16 is plenty) and an ssd and you’re golden
When u have a 4gb ram
Which laptop is in thumbnail?
Most people wont recommend but go for a gaming laptop like Asus ROG for programming. Its fast, buttery smooth wirg 120hz refresh rate, fast ssd, dedicated gpu if you want to do machine learning and ofcourse i7 multithreading advantage with 16gigs of ram. Its a heaven for anything u develop on it.
Okay, I’m a 16-year-old middle school student who is developing an app with a flutter-in made by Google in Korea. Should I buy a MacBook for programming? It doesn’t matter if you download WSL from Windows and develop it, right? I was looking to buy Dell xps 179700. I like Dell products. Especially now, I’m using 27 inches of ultra-sharp, which is Dell’s monitor. The bezel is really thin.
Totally make sense and agree with you all the points except for the case of Windows. I find myself Windows has the best tools needed by a developer. I often use windows Ink Workspace, Screen Snip, Mobile hotspot, My Phone app and lots of other tools. I also use Linux for my AOSP code development and building and everything.
Some people complain windows is slow, but if you switch to SSD, it will fly. My HP have 8Gb, i5 with 256SSD + 1TB HDD and 2Gb Radeon Graphics. Been using this for the last 4 years. 🙂
Guys you don’t need to search for a best programming laptop.I personally use a hp entry level laptop for coding, upgraded my machine to 8gb ram with 1TB SSD. And It works fine for me. Web development, designing, Android development for this kind of work. And my CPU is AMD 3020e with 1.4ghz.
FOR OS CHOICES: windows now supports Linux kernels so just go with your personal preference
XPS 13
Bought a gaming windows laptop for max performance, then installed pop os(ubuntu based distro). Having the best experience of all time. I do most of my work on machine learning and deep learning using gpu, I had to admit performance is unparallel. And it runs csgo at ~150-170 fps, which is ~30-40 fps more than windows.
Visual studio is great for windows development
What is your opinion on the Spectre x360 14? Do you think it is good for a high school programming/graphics student? Note that I also own a somewhat powerful PC.
Whats the wallaper, can u tell me pls
I have a hp elite book 840 G3 with i5 6300u and 16gb ram and 512 gb nvme m.2 but I am little concerned about gaming and editing along with coding in this laptop what should I do should I upgrade to more ram or it will be useless
coding is not video edition. your recommendations is actually a waste of time
I would add: SSD over HDD. With Cloud storage and external drives it’s not really necessary to store massive amounts of data in your laptop, but you can certainly benefit from the increased I/O speed. Also, in my experience, HDDs tend to be pretty fragile.
If you had $1500 to spend on a laptop right now, what would you get?
I’ve been using Windows since windows 3.0 and 99,9999% of the issues I had were caused by badly written drivers not windows it self. For a brief period I converted a Dell laptop ( after changing some components for higher compatibility ) to Hackintosh and whenever a driver sneezed the machine would crash. About SW development. Xcode, Eclipse, Android Studio, are joke compared to Visual Studio or VS Code. VS is running circles around the other tools .
CPU is the most important one.
chrome os is Linux, isn’t it?
if you use vmware you can actually run mac os as a virtual machine, the latest os I’ve gotten to work is mojave, haven’t tried big sur yet but I do have that iso
Where did you get that intro BGM?
Its awesome
7:18 Windows is the worst one…EXACTLY….😆😂
I really enjoyed your videos, keep going !!
Kalle.. can you please recommend some good laptop names too? Thanks
Hej Kalle, thanks for this awesome informative video. These suggestions will help me to buy the new one.
I have a question,
Will it be wise if I buy a new laptop from Sweden based on cost, specs, service, and warranty since I am planning to go to Stockholm next month. In India, the laptops with 32GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, AMD R7 are too expensive (high import tax) and always out of stock on amazon.
Keep up the great work.
Man you look like tyler wellick.
does anyone know if the galaxy book s is any good for programming ?
wow!!!
mmm, interesting you put linux first, mac second and then windows at the end, but you use a mac in the video as if that is your regular device
Any windows laptop that can replace a boom air m1?
I was planning to but MacBook air m1 but he adviced windows device with Linux installed
The best laptop is the one that can run Vscode and 5 chrome tabs at once.
Thank you. Keep up the great work, that was useful
Anyone can suggest me a laptop between 40 to 45k ₹?
Would you recommend the base model (8gb 256gb) m1 macbook air?
is hyperthreading that necessary for programming?
Which one is the best for Me
Love the intro
make a vid of how to install java
Pleae tell me your favourite laptop and why. All viewers kindly spare a minute and give me advice
can someone link the wallpaper?
My favorite language is python and what is yours
The laptop you see in the thumbnail is the best laptop
The best laptop is the friends we made along the way
If you don’t play games or don’t want anything related to high graphic end than just remove windows from your list
there is no mac with a 15 or 14 inch screen right now. Should I buy the 16 inch pro or a air with 13 inch screen. Would really love a answer.
