What does Jow Forums use for technology? What kind of laptop should a respectable businessman use?

Dont get the T480s, dude, get the T450s.
much better bang for the buck, spend the money you save on more linkies

t. t450s user

you can get 1-3 year old refurbs cheap as shit dude

2015 MB Pro. This is decidedly the best laptop. The new MacBook doesn’t have USB ports (???) so it’s out. Thinkpads are nice and I’ve used my friend’s 2018 thinkpad but the OS is just shit compared to the Mac OS. I know it’s expensive and not as powerful as the thinkpad but a laptop is about comfort, not performance.

To add to this, the windows surface Pro is the official gear of high level wagie faggots.

Master Jow Forums race here

well actually i had trouble installing my scanner on ubuntu.
in an office enviroment windows is more convinient.

I don't want to buy a laptop some greasy idiot used though

Microsoft surface laptop or Huawei mate book X pro for data analysis?

Just bought a MacBook Pro with an Intel i9 8 core processor for 4k.

got the one for you then

My X220T did everything I need a computer to do save have good battery life and resolution (but that doesn't matter at this size). My hinge was getting weak so I bought an x250 and other than battery life, the experience itself is surprisingly not a huge difference. Runs windows 10 better I guess. But the screen on this just shit out so I'm back to using my x250. It's not noticeable since the x220 uses a full voltage processor, I just miss the more powerful graphics chipset.

Buying a new computer for the sake of it being new is nigger behavior, especially if you don't have any real benefits to the power upgrade.

Dell latitude, HP Elitebook, IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad. Put Linux on it.

Surface

>usb-c isn't usb
retard alert

Or I could just buy something new?

x/t series thinkpad + debian
the only way

Any reason?

Huawei is 3k screen Vs 2k on the surface. I think they have the same processor. Similar price range.

>debian

Thinkbook 14s

I like the x230 you can easily replace the display with an ips. resolution still sucks though

At that screen size, 3K doesn't matter vs 2K.

I use a DELL XPS 13" running Ubuntu. I do NOT want Windows on any computer that has to do with crypto. And Ubuntu is really nice if you are not into gaming or hardcore office document sharing.

Thinkpads and Macs are the only choices for respectable Jow Forumsnessmen.
They both basically last forever, my grandma is still rocking her 2006 macbook.
Thinkpads are more durable, kinda built like tanks, so you can treat them like crap and they'll still be fine.

I use a Surface Pro. Pretty happy with it but I could work on any kind of laptop. I think it's just the right size for both manoeuvrability and decent screen real estate.

I bought x250 and I am very happy with it
i have dual-boot windows 10 and Debian Buster

Give me a reason not to buy the most expensive cuckpad right now?

Anything that can run excel, powerpoint. Preferably a Windows machine w/ hackintosh just incase you have to deal with applefags.

In terms of attributes it falls in this order,
>aesthetics
>battery life
>durability
>price
>performance

Any questions?

Great machine. I prefer something with more ports/expandability though.

Also, would never buy a tenkeyless machine.

>In terms of attributes it falls in this order,
>aesthetics at the top
>performance at the very bottom
>Preferably a Windows machine
fucking cringe

Latitude 7490. Vastly superior to any chinknovo

I agree with everything but I'd add something more: The point of a laptop is that it's a portable computer you can take with you anywhere. It's supposed to be lightweight and easy to fit in most carrying bags.

In my opinion laptops with screens bigger than 13 or 14 inches make no sense. I have a 15.6'' one and it is too cumbersome to take to places. The next one I'll buy will definitely be 13'' screen with Windows/Mint dual boot.

Thinkpads with any other OS installed than Windows reek of neckbeard sweat and virginity.

Why would you need performance on a laptop unless you're using intensive engineering software or something like that.

Besides, I have a custom built PC for that. Laptops are mostly for presentations, emails, and quickly updating excel sheets.

Agreed, but the problem with smaller laptops is no numeric keypad. Biggest laptop I might buy is something similar to the Gigabyte Aero, with less gamer-esqe branding.

I am a bit miffed about just one USB port, but if necessary I could get an extension there. For my purposes, that and the sd card slot is sufficient.

They'll all give PEBKAC ERROR if not set up correctly

Why linux is better than windows for crypto?

Windows 10 is basically a spyware machine

Elitebook 1000 or Zbook Studio X360. Lenovo is pleb tier Chinese garbage filled with spyware.

Chinkpad master race reporting in.

i use a ssd dell g7 with i7 and 16 gb ram

Thinkpad is the ugliest fucking computer you can buy. Only fay neckbeards and the weird kids you think might be school shooters have them.

I use the battlestation I built.
If I need to go somewhere, I just take it with me in a large suitcase, which I can manage because of how Jow Forums I am.
I carry my peripherals and monitor in my other suitcase.
You can imagine the look on people's faces when I pull out my glowing red case and hook up my razor peripherals, glowing equally red.
Only takes about 30 seconds to setup now that I've gotten so good with it.

Your post reeks of summer. Adults are trying to discuss serious bizness.

Cope harder, wagie. You ain't half as Jow Forums as I.

MacBook Air and Mac Mini, both 2012, still great performance on both.

Buy a used 2012 MacBook Air on eBay for around $300 in good condition. Thank me later. 13 inch.

Asus Zenbook pro with Arch btw

Sound sick af. I’ll be buying a similar thing in 5 years for much cheaper.

honorary nigger

You have to be 18 to post here, kiddo.

he is right tough. thinkpads are only used by neckbeards and/or technical/IT technicans wagies

not true. I'm the head of IT at the company I work for and I made sure that all new laptops we purchased for sales staff were Lenovo thinkpads. Now every sales wagie here is stuck using a chinkpad.

You really don't need to unless you are doing something that requires that level of hardware. X250 is cheap

I really really hope this is true. Sounds based as fuck.

You are too stupid, give up.

From my company I got the Zbook Studio X360. Only chinks and neckbeards walk with lenovo.
HP/DELL masterrace. Zbook>Elitebook>XPS>Spectre

Running with an i9 and quadro p2000 and 64GB. Stay poor and enjoy your plastic bricks Chinknovo hodlers.

Based neckbeard.

My 2 cents:

Linux
>>based Unix however
>>need to know shell scripting in order to use since GUI is shit in about every distro
>>spend more time circumventing compatibility issues with external files than getting work done

Windows
>>OS of most normie wagecuck companies
>>NSA faggotry
>>shit GUI 10x worse than any -nix distro, redundant hidden config panels, feels like every release is just new buggy pajeet code piled on top of the old shit (it is)

Mac OS X
>>Easy to use, relatively stable and intuitive GUI once you learn its quirks, however
>>Every release is more bloated and normie-catered than the last
>>Grandma doesn't know how a harddrive works so therefore we should obfuscate the notion of directory structures and other basic pillars of a good GUI for everyone
>>cum-guzzling Tim Cook is a cum-guzzling faggot

Everything sucks, decide what you want most out of your laptop and be prepared for compromises regardless of your choice.

I use a 2014 Macbook pro WITHOUT dedicated GPU that I bought on Craigslist for $700 in perfect condition. All Apple products are overpriced as hell but the build quality is better than anything IF you DYOR and buy a good model. They add all sorts of faggy features that fail all the time so it's important to get a good year of any model, just like with cars. A dedicated GPU will overheat and melt the epoxy inside of the display which will cause the display hinge to fail and crack the display. Avoid anything with that new touchbar shit, it's also useless trash that has reputation for failure.

Buy used and know how to test all hardware.

>>inb4 apple fag

I wish I could recommend anything other than a unibody Macbook but everything else is flimsy disposable plastic shit running uber-cucked windows 10 shit. If you have the time and know-how then maybe installing a linux distro on an aluminum zenbook from a few years back before they got cucked as well could be worth it.

Jow Forums opinions regarding tech are about as important as Jow Forums opinions regarding business. That is to say, not at all.

Lmao whatever retard. You buy a Mac if you're computer illiterate. The OS is the only nice part about it, the hardware is severely overpriced and hardly worth it.

Used $500 dollar macbook is the best machine for programmers. Windows is a joke for programming (useless terminal and no package manager) and linux is an autistic child that you need to micromanage or else it will automatically shit itself. When it comes to development, OSX just werks

Also Apple has a refurb store with big discounts on the 15 inch macbook pro now.

>micromanage Linux
It's 2019 man come on. Nobody who does anything serious with computers thinks that.

I write all my own trading tools (hence my high level of success) and Linux is an easier environment to develop in. Also I like to keep my different strategies segregated and since they pop up windows, I need them to not steal focus. Linux has a program called xnest that lets you run a "desktop" in its own window which suits those purposes perfectly.

some people want to run a node
some people want to compile ethereum contracts
some people want to mine
some people want to run a bot
99.99% wont but its nice knowing that you can

Should also mention I prefer to develop in Python which spins off new processes for multithreaded code that needs to run on multiple CPU's and the procedure to do this in Linux is much faster than on Windows.

just turn your old laptop into a desktop like i did
all you need is some coat hangers and pliers
