Not really, just generalyl asking about laptops mentioned by me above.

Country: Lithuania Budget: max 960$ Weight: Under 2 kg Display size: 14" but i can consider 15,6" Battery life: 8 hours? The longer the better Special requirements: Good build quality? RJ-45 port, cool and quiet. 16 gb RAM

Linux is not a problem. This is my 3rd year on uni and my old laptop died. I'm used to linux by now, but I still need to get better and better with it. Whenever I need windows i just start VM, no problem at all. I have also PC for windows and games, if i ever need more power. Also in my Uni i can write programs on whatever os I like. I send the code like everyone else to the person who is checking our code and if there are any compiling issues I just go to him with laptop, dowload what I send to him from email (to show, that I didn't have more time than everyone else) and just run it on my system. I tried dual boot, but frankly it's just not for me. VM's are much better, because I don't have to stop what i am already doing. I am still actually leaning more towards HP. Why? Because it seems it has everything as THinkpad + higher quality materials (aluminium chasis) and keyboard backlight (not really that importat). But that aluminium chasis is tempting, compared to full plastic. It's also lighter. The real problem is that it's hard to find info about it, and that's my only big problem.

Hello! I need a new laptop for work and uni. It has to be good enough for programming. I won't be gaming on it. Battery life is important to me. Also i will be uninstalling windows and installing linux. So i have two models in mind. Lenovo Thinkpad e480 or HP Pavilion 14 (code 14-ce0012nw) They are both laptops with core i5 -8250u, 16 gb of ram, 256 GB ssd drive. Both come with intel gpu only. Both have 15" version, but Thinkpad e580 is a bit more expensive and HP pavilion 15 comes with mx 150, which i'd rather avoid to increase battery life and avoid driver problems on linux. So, which is better? the both cost roughly the same. Also does HP pavilion 14, allow to install additional 2,5" SATA drive? Or is it only m.2 slot (which i hope can be changed in future if i need to). EDIT: There is also msi ps42 with core i7-8550u 8 gb of ram and 256gb ssd, but I don't think 8 gb of RAM is enough and also it looks like it doesn't have RJ-45 port, which I need. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks weak compared to thinkpad and hp.
