What laptop do you recommend to me?

[SO•Sebas]

Here are some pointers for you. I won't recommend any specific laptop because in the end it all comes to personal taste.

Brands I would avoid "cheapo" brands like Acer. They are less expensive than everyone but they won't last as long. Me and Cola would highly recommend you to buy a Thinkpad. Anything from the other brands are fine.

LCD Size The "Go-to" size is 15". It's perfect for everyday use and still maintains portability. 11-13" are smaller if you intend on moving quite a lot. If you plan on typing a lot of things (I.e. Coding, programming, etc..) you might want to get a 17" instead. The keyboard will be a complete one with a numpad usually.

Keyboard Most laptops will come with a "short" keyboard. If you want a numpad, you'll need an external one. I know that some 15" will come with a numpad. Avoid that at all costs because the keys will be extremely cramped. Take a 17" instead if you want a full keyboard. At a personal level, I really hated Sony laptop keyboards. The other ones were fine.

Graphics Card I know you said that you will not be "gaming that much". Even though you said that, I can't recommend enough that you NEED to have a graphics card inside that laptop. Intel IGP is not enough. Nowadays, you can get affordable laptop with Integrated ATI and Nvidia chips inside. It makes a world of difference.

Other pointers HDD'S in laptop suck. They usually run at 5400Rpm and are slow. If you can, I would invest in buying an SSD. I would even go the "take a smaller SSD if needed and get an external HDD for the rest" route. This will make the most difference in your machine. Talk to me and other players who still have their old 2008ish era computer. I equipped it with an SSD and it purrs like a kitten now.

Happy shopping!
