Posted January 16, 2020 What's your budget? My ThinkPad E595 was about $800 when I bought it in September, and it's been a fantastic laptop. The model I got features a Ryzen 5 3500U(4c/8t up to 3.7Ghz), Vega 8 iGPU, 8GB of RAM(upgraded to 16GB), and a 256GB M.2 SSD with space for an additional 2.5" HDD or SSD.

Posted January 16, 2020 Almost anything with recent mid level specs can do what you want to do. I would go to a store or mall and try all the mobile keyboards you can out and base your laptop decision off which one you can type the fastest/most comfortably on if you plan on doing alot of programming on it. Side note I tried to make it through school with a Lenovo flex, and probably could've made it work despite the lowish specs, but the awkward miniature layout of the keyboard made programming classes painful (literally) and composition classes near impossible.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro is great, particularly for photo/video editing, but you'd get one to write Mac, iOS or Android software. Not so much Windows apps.

I do not have preferences, don't know the difference between H or U series GPU ‘H’ means that the processor has high performance integrated graphics ‘HK’ means that the processor has high performance integrated graphics and a unlocked multiplier ‘HQ’ refers to high performance integrated graphics and a quad core CPU ‘U’ means that the CPU is meant for ultra low power consumption Source: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-differences-between-U-M-QM-MQ-and-HQ-processors-of-Intel-to-consider-when-buying-a-laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
