What Laptops do you guys use?

[Derpy360]

A list of things would be nice, budget or not. As long as they have long battery life.

Edit: I already have a pc so I don't need too much power such as gaming and video editing.

Using a 2016 Blade Stealth, highly DO NOT recommend. This thing is a piece of crap.

My personal laptops? 
 

Dell precision m6600(17 in screen, 20gb, 750gb ssd)

Used when i want a big screen and lots of ram on the go

 

Dell latitiude e6400 XFR(e9600, 4gb, 160gb ssd) 

This is durrable, you can drop it, you can get it wet. It just won't die.

If you are looking for a good laptop with tons of battery life the LG Gram is a solid option.

CPU hits 100C under any load, incredibly loud all the time, screws fall out and I have to tighten them every 3-4 days, battery life is 3.5 hours top using batter saver with 50% brightness and just web browsing, it crashes all the time, and more.

I use the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Gaming. It has good battery as long as you're not gaming, if you are, its decent but not great. Only cost me $600 for the base model (7th gen i5, 8 GB RAM, 5400 rpm 1 TB). And then I spent an additional $250 for an 500 GB NVMe SSD and 8 more GB RAM. Dell doesn't say how much VRAM the 1050 has, or if its a Ti. But mine has a sticker saying 4 GB, and GPUz agrees, so I believe it has a 1050 Ti. Runs games on medium @ 60 fps.

I've got an HP dv6-6195ca (~2011) that still performs wonderfully for anything but modern gaming, even if it's rather bulky by today's standards, and an Acer Spin 1 which is very light and thin and small, which is good for the tasks/situations where that form factor is useful.  The hardware is minimal but it gets the job done.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 15 7577. I got basically the higher end model without the 4K screen for about $1200 out the door. It has enough gaming chops as my last desktop. Though admittedly that was replaced in 2015.

 

Battery life is okay-ish. It can get almost 6 hours.

Four-year-old Lenovo Ideapad 100. Battery life doesn't last longer than 10 minutes so it sits on my desk and acts as a desktop. Hard drive broke a month ago and I replaced it with an external Toshiba USB HDD because lazy. It's a janky setup I know

I was so close to buying a used razer laptop a few weeks ago, thanks for the advice

 

[reniat]

whatever the best laptop option my company has when device upgrade time comes around every few years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[emosun]

why is this in programing?

and did you need a laptop or literally just want us to list random laptops we use vs what would actually be a good laptop.

The reason why I chose the topic "programming" in this discussion is that I'm curious laptop do people use for programming.

[trag1c]

MSI gt70 apache (I believe could be wrong as I'm on my phone right now) decent battery life and decent performance for programming, 3d modeling, CAD, and computer vision development. Okayish battery life.

I have a “Lenovo Y40-70” top tier 2014. It’s really slow.

9 to 10 hours with a new oem 9 cell battery on ArchLinux, or 6 with Windows 10.

MacBook Pro Retina 15" 2017

I personally always use mac laptops. It's not budget for sure, but the build qualitiy is awesome and for web development, mac osx is great.

While they are good (I am typing this on a late 2012 MBP, still gets the job done with 16GB RAM, SSD and an addition HDD instead of the optical drive, battery life is anything but great though), you get similar build quality and the same or better performance for a lot less money (Dell's XPS series, HP's Spectre series, Huawei's Matebook X, Lenovo's T480s or even X1 Carbon, LG's Gram if it's available at your area). For web stuff it doesn't really matter other than having the IE-equivalent of modern web dev at hand to troubleshoot: Safari. If you're not into iOS development you don't need a mac and get more for less.

I agree you don't need one, but having a unix based system is a benefit in my opinon (or for what I do, it's definitely a benefit). And I just love the ecosystem by now, will be hard for me to change to a windows laptop.

I term of price, it doesn't really matter to me as I use them over several years (I had a 2012 MBPr for over 5 years) usually without any problems. I am okey to pay a premium for the good service I always got.

For sure, you get awesome laptops from other brands, which may even be cheaper for the same performance. I didn't really check the prices lately, but I think for the same design, performance and build quality, we are anyway speaking of expensive hardware in more or less the same price category (+/- 300$).

 

But those are only my preferences
