Laptop for Coding.

[G1K777]

Hello,

i need a laptop for coding.

I will probably run ArchLinux, NodeJS, MongoDB and MariaDB. I wont play on it it's 100% for Coding and maybe Netflix

The Laptop shouldn't be expensive. Coding is a hobby of mine.

Where are you from? Budget? Any preference on weight and battery life? Any other requirements?

Germany, not over 700Euros, shouldn't be heavy, battery life, battery life 6h+ not less.

I was looking at these laptops.

1 Lenovo Ideapad 330S-15ARR grau, Ryzen 5 2500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD (81FB007BGE)
1 Acer Swift 3 SF315-41-R7PE (NX.GV7EV.005)
1 HP Envy x360 15-cp0001ng schwarz (4XK66EA#ABD)

Ryzen laptops generally have less battery life

 

Any links of online stores? Preferred max weight in kg/lbs?

No preferred weight. Weight shouldn't be a concern for me, it's not for school :)

Sorry but I'm not happy with any of those laptops.

The displys are tiny, some of them have a lower resolution than 1080p.

I found also one:

So you want 17 inch? You should mention it earlier

 

There aren't much good budget 17 inch models, but there you go:

Acer Aspire 5 17 A517-51/51G with FHD IPS (good quality - brightness, contrast, sRGB)

HP Probook 470 G5 with FHD IPS

Still not better than the ones that I've found, thank you for the good will.
