Not to be the 500th post about this, but I'm looking at some advice for a good laptop for work (web design), coding (virtual machines will be needed), and general schoolwork. I've been looking at two in particular that seem to be in the right price/performance range for me.
I'm looking at the Dell XPS 13 and the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14. I had an older Thinkpad Yoga before this and generally was satisfied with (aside from that it only had 4gb of ram) it until it suddenly crapped out a month or two ago. I had a Dell XPS a while back as well (probably around 6 years ago) that served me very well.
Primarily I'm looking for around a 13-15 inch screen, at least 8 gigs of ram, decent battery life, and some decent processing power to handle compiling and dealing with VMs.
Are these decent laptops for my needs? If not, what would be better at around the $1,000 price point? Also I'm trying to stick to Amazon for prime shipping and because I have their card. Thanks.
