When it comes to programing you want cores, screen size, and a great keyboard.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Consider programming on Windows in MS Visual Studio and use virtual machine for linux.

Restarting my laptop every time i wanted to switch into linux/windows was a pain in the butt.
