Bhaiya ji yeh to gaming laptops h
I maxed out my Legion with 64gb of RAM and 2TB of storage. Amazing for productivity tbh.
Though battery life sucks, 3-4 hours max.
I dont regret buying it, very good quality hardware so it should last me 4-5 years easily.
Quite heavy though, 2.5kgs.
Used a Thinkpad T470 laptop to code for the longes time and it showed signs of age within the first year. I had an extra battery pack and used to get 12-16h of screen time.
But in one year, that reduced to 6-ish hours. I used to run IntelliJ, Postgres and Docker Desktop (2-3 Java / NodeJS containers at max) consistently. Chrome would have about 15-20 tabs open.
After 3 years of using the laptop, the HDD gave up. Lenovo wanted me to pay 2x the MRP for a 1TB HDD. Got one off Amazon and paid a guy to replace it. It worked fine after that except a minor problem with the keyboard and intermittent screen flickering issue.
The battery life was bad. Screen was absolutely pathetic. You couldn’t see the screen if you worked in the sunlight.
Switched to a MacBook 14 M1 and I get 8-10 hour battery easy. Compilation of multi-module maven project is MUCH MUCH faster. Docker comes up in no time. And I can finally work outdoors!
It’s been close to a year, and no signs of age so far (touchwood). If portability, screen and battery is your preference, I don’t see a better option that will last you 5-6 years.
What's your ram storage and chip in MacBook?
M1 / 16GB / 512GB SSD
Any device where you can comfortably code and debugging is best device
For folks choosing, Win/Linux
I have a MacBook Air M2 (Base Model) custom built gaming pc with 32gb ram, 3060 ti 8gb GPU with i7.
But for coding, I always use mac, not saying windows is a good os, but you just cant compare the performance difference in running servers/tests/compilation.
If you have option get mac bcs how easily it ties with Linux/Unix types env. But don't go over and above if you cant afford one. Get your self a decent laptop with i5 (atleast 10th gen) and 16Gb ram.
For coding I prefer Linux like env and I've tried using Ubuntu in past but the problem with it is you need to do setup manually and things break often(can't remember how many hours I've spent trying to fix Wifi drivers) Mac gives polished OS where you can get started with minimal setup so I prefer mac
I believe the question is not fair since Linux isn't part of the pool and apple has a completely different OS then rest of other choices in the poll
I think for apple, display and UI makes the difference.
