  1. appears to only be a $20 rebate when you look at the form. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/01/25/68/31/00/12568310030._CB492532482_.pdf
  2. perhaps the Moto G5s Plus https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g5s_plus-8699.php I believe there is a USA variant with CDMA support. Also are you 100% wedded to verizon for life? If you are looking for a phone with all these features it may be easier to find the phone and then go with a carrier that uses the more widely supported GSM standards.
  3. https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_a1-8776.php Pretty great phone for the money, Had hardware buttons (they are capacitive though). Rear fingerprint sensor. Runs stock android (on the android one program). Though I am not sure it has CDMA support Or perhaps the Moto G5s Plus https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g5s_plus-8699.php I believe there is a USA variant with CDMA support.
  4. It really depends on what you are wanting to do. Is this for a career, or for a hobby? If it is for a career, what sort of job are you looking at getting into? If this is for a hobby, what sort of challenges are you looking for in this hobby?
  5. Storage: Storage should always be an ssd for programming. Compiling code creates lots of small files which required good IOPS in combination with good read/write speeds. SATA SSD is a must, with nvme recommended. For size it really depends on what sort of programming you are doing. If you are doing c/c++/c# python etc you shouldn't need something too big. 250gb+ but would recommend 500gb. Especially if you are doing embedded coding, for that 250gb is plenty. If you are going to be developing apps for iOS or android and the like, then you will probably need 500GB+ with a recommendation of 1TB. As for the components. GPU: anything will do. RAM: Would recommend 16GB Processor: definitely get a quad-core. The new 8th gen look like a really good option. Especially if you are a student as they can be found in much more portable designs Display: Try and get something with 1080p as a bare minimum. But ideally a higher resolution. This will allow you to get more code on the screen at once (as long as your eyesight isn't bad). This may not sound like a big deal, but moving from 1080p to 1440p on my dev machine made a world of difference to my productivity. I find a single 1440p screen to be more productive than 2x 1080p ones. Keyboard: you are going to be using this a lot, so make sure you like the keyboard. As for specific recommendations on specific laptops, I like Dell, others don't. Lenovo are quite good. But more importantly go and check out and have a play with laptops in some stores (even if you are going to buy online) that way you can see if you like the feel of it, you can see what they keyboard and trackpad are like etc.
  6. Single rank memory was initially more stable at higher speeds with Ryzen, however i don't think it is a big issue any more? Definitely run 2 sticks instead of one. however dont go for 4 sticks (less likely to work at higher speeds, and gives less options for future upgrades). Looks to be a pretty decent build though.
  7. Take a look at the dell inspiron 15" 7000 series gaming laptops. Pretty decent specs and relatively good price. I believe Linus has reviewed them on the channel. Most graphics applications (unless you are doing lots of rendering) dont use too much GPU power (not sure about CorelDraw specifically however). Mostly they just use lots of RAM. So I would suggest getting at least 16GB ram. If your current PC is on windows 10, upgrade it to the fall creators update and then look in the task manager->performance panel to see which part of your current system is the bottleneck. Is it the CPU, RAM, GFX (you can now monitor this in the task manager in FCU WIN10) or HDD, or a combination of the above.
