Are you satisfied with buying a premium laptop even thought you can basically code with a $200 laptop? Have you noticed an increase in productivity?

Depends of what you code.
Kevin Morgan
Why the fuck are laptop screens so bad in >currentyear
It's fucking retarded 1k aussie neetbux and I get a screen with 1366 x 768 resolution
Carter Allen
Yeah, for every thing i code i need a premium pc, ide's takes alot of resources, running special PHP scrips require uses alot of ram. Developing games with unity you need gaming pc card. If you want to realy code anything you need a expensive pc.

Leo Sanders
writing HTML programs takes up huge amounts of RAM.
Zachary Morgan
I use a desktop at home, I don't use a personal laptop. My work laptop is company-provided and as such is a Dell Latitude business model.

Aiden Parker
I don't code on a laptop like a hunchbacked faggot.

>running visual studio and Re# On $200 laptop
Yeah no.
And no I'm not going to be a vimautist. Only neets purposefully be less productive for hacker points that no one cares about. Except other NEETS.
Tyler Parker
>visual studio and Re#
i think i've found your real problem.
Matthew Hall
dog bless socialism
Nicholas Hall
I just got a T480s at work, I'm pretty fucking happy with it.
Sebastian Roberts

>PHP
Found your problem
HTML requires a text editor. Your system is misconfigured.
>visual studio
You shouldn't even be on Jow Forums.

>Developing with unity needs a powerfull PC
What on earth are you trying to program? dont run all debug tools at the same time.
Carson Cook
What's even a good $200 laptop? I've had a hard time trying to find something that's just low power x86. I guess the problem is it seems like anything that isn't a $3000 macbook ripoff is like 16GB soldered in eMMC with no expandability and a single USB2 port.
Chase Jackson
If you dont move past projecteuler.net maybe, but if you're not a retarded faggot and actually do WORK then yeah there is a difference.
Faggot, but you're OP sp that goes without saying
Asher Long
What do you think of the Dell XPS 15? Need a solid notebook for work

X230/t530 or t430.
Really good machines.
I paid 400$ for t540p with i7 (real)quad core, 16gb ram and SSD.
It is all I need for webdev shit and C# VS.
David Reed
When it comes to "productivity", it's all about the coder.
But OP doesn't care/doesn't know too much?
Lincoln Turner
Yeah I meant to put in that's kind of a shit option too. I have an old Thinkpad and it sucks. It's a workstation so it has a 2 hour battery life, sounds like a jet engine, the bottom is like 50C, and it weighs 3 pounds, and yet being 10 years old I have to put lxde on it and can't use Firefox/Chrome or it will crash trying to page ram.
I want something that was designed to be cheap and power efficient, just not so cheap that it's completely unusable.
Hudson James
Yes.
Camden Bennett
I got a 4gb laptop with an i5 for 133 USD
Did I bargain well, boys?
Anthony Moore
Right now for python dev I'm using a $50 netbook and sublime 3. Works fine I guess.
Nicholas Smith
>he fell for Brickpad meme
just buy some newer (2015+) ultrabook bussiness laptop (Thinkpad/Latitude/Elitebook).
I have Latitude E7450, Thinkpad equivalent is T450s, and it's great, lightweight, long battery and performs decent.
