Laptop recommendations for Full Stack developer

[Sabakakado]

Hey!

I’m a Full Stack Developer looking to buy new laptop.

While coding, I usually run docker containers locally (about 24GB ram, sometimes tops 31GB ram).

BE (microservices) - Nodejs, FE - Angular/ React.
I’m looking to buy new laptop - leaning towards MacBook (not really sure which).

Can anyone recommend me good& reliable laptop?

Don’t have any budget in mind - looking for good money to value laptop!

Thanks!

I definitely wouldn't go for macbook if you need a lot of RAM, because they charge a crap ton for additional RAM. If i were buying laptop for that, i would go for framework, because you can easily upgrade it (which will save you money over time), but it's also not good value if you just want perfomance. With that said, i rlly can't recommend a specific laptop if i don't know the budget, there are different good value laptops for all budgets

I can't buy framework laptop because they aren't available in my country (middle east). 

I think I'm willing to spend about ~2300$ (USD)

idk man, my dad has an asus zenbook with the 12700H, which is rlly good, but also gets hot af by just existing, you'll still have to do your own research to find what laptop you like the most, and which are available in your country. I recommend looking at if the ram or ssd are soldered, and to NOT buy those laptops, because if any of those parts breaks you are done, + you can't upgrade, other than that just look if the screen is good (at least 90Hz, good if OLED at that pricepoint), and if the cpu is good, but laptops in the same price range usually have very similar specs, if you find a laptop you like, i can take a look at it
