@Eigenvektor Yeah I do realize that Luke is just a part of the development of the platform and not a developer full time, but he does deal with developers, he does need to get there machines sanctioned from company, hence he does understand somewhat what might be needed.
This suggestion might be a stretch but this is something I would love to see from the channel as a whole.
Like the Asus Zenbook Dualbook pro or the non pro can be a really amazing for the extra screen but is on the heavier side(Pro version) and bad for price (non pro version).
@Mira Yurizaki Yeah i do get that point but when buying a new computer or laptop, You do need to get comfortable using whatever machine you just got for yourself and thus can be a factor for it.
Also (talking about people around me and me) we do love to have a lot of different docs opened at same time to look for whatever thing we are looking at to be done, be it documentation or other forums or the holy grail Stack Overflow, also a lot of times we cannot just run the changed files and need to compile the whole program as a whole( or some things i am doing is ineffective way of doing it), but it still a problem and can be looked into for newbie programmers.
As an experienced programmer one can easily look up the perfect system for his/her needs. Be it for Dual boot or virtual machines to run one OS to test or develop for the particular machine or server compiles or model training.
LTT group does get a lot of laptops for review and can fit in a few compile time tests and model training times for the specs so that we don't have to judge them by the gaming performance.
Its just a recommendation for the channel and can helpful for a lot of new programmers, who don't necessarily use virtual machines or servers for doing the more intensive tasks
PS no offence to anyone and I do understand your points just.
