Don't. Looks good on paper, but in reality cooling and battery life are dogshit.
James Stewart
Thinkpad X1
Jason Wright
great choice, although make sure you get the 144hz display and the gtx 1060. much better thermals and durability.
Jonathan James
Nigger are you seriously getting yourself a gayming laptop to use for work? Are you retarded? Go with one of the following: thinkpad X1 extreme, dell xps15 2-in-1, hp zbook workstation x360 g5
Thomas Garcia
>Razer Blade 1070
Why the fuck do you need that type of graphical power?
XPS and Macs are pretty common choices within business because they are well suited to do particular tasks. It sounds like you just want a free gaming station..
Xavier Nelson
It's not just for work though, while they are buying the laptop, it will still be owned by me and I will be using at home, for gaming and work, hence the need for graphical power.
Leo Barnes
Basically every laptop you will choose someone will have something to say against it. Just buy something with good specs
Dominic Fisher
If you think your boss is willing to put down an extra 1000 dollar just so you can waste your time gaming, then sure go for it.
However, as a non gaymer I'd honestly feel embarrassed to ask for it.
But yeah do whatever makes you happy.
Brayden Green
Aero15X or some thinkpad T4XX
Zachary Nguyen
OP implied that his budget was around 3k though
Jonathan Thomas
ASUS ZenBooks are pretty dank, I don't know why there are not that many people using them, but it really feels better than a Mac and is lighter than a Mac.
Nolan Brown
>work >144hz monitor Lmfao just get a macbook pro 2015 fully loaded
>yoga x1 i though thinkpad people didn't consider that a real thinkpad?
Adam Carter
The yoga x1 has it's uses especially for (digital) artists. Dedicated graphics and the 1440p color perfect bright screen it comes with is hard compare.
Personally I would just get a X1 or a T model. I'm waiting for the Zen2 laptop chips in 2020 before I upgrade my old modded dell 14 Chromebook.
Jaxon Perry
Get a laptop with the best keyboard and screen selection. Lenovo finally offers both.
Ryan Morgan

Jeremiah Reed
OP, how long did it take you to learn ASP? Really struggling here.
John Richardson
Not very long, shit's easy if you know C# and basic web shit like HTML, CSS and JS. Once you understand the MVC pattern it shouldn't be an issue
Kevin Watson
Don't know why you'd assume I'd be gaming during work hours, which I wouldn't. I will be using it at home as well, like I stated before.
Joseph Nguyen
.net and wangblows are the real problem here. He should just get a job as a java dev
Christopher Martinez
>java Nice meme bro
Joseph White
>intends to do serious work >wants to buy a gayming laptop
good luck /v/tard
Carter Lopez
I've learned C# and EF reasonably well I think, however, I now fuck all about HTML, CSS and JS. Should I learn those first before trying to get into MVC?
Liam Taylor
You can easily learn those as you go
Austin Evans
the amount of shittalk under this thread makes me laugh
get the 17" Razor Blade Pro, if you use the touchpad a lot you'll love the touchpad on the side of the keyboard. This is an absolute top spec laptop for only about $2000. You need good graphics just to do everyday stuff, dont get some stupid thinkpad and end up with the fans blowing all the time when its jugging on a video streaming or something like that with its shitty integrated graphics.
Dont let anyone give you shit about using a gaming laptop, yes a the looks of a lot of gaming laptops are childish with the crazy colors and logos, but this one is passable as a daily driver.
Yeah good luck building macos/ios software on anything that but a mac. And good luck using popular UI/UX tools such as Sketch.
I hate mac as much as the next guy on Jow Forums, but unless you want to build a company that serves exclusively to neckbeards you are probably going to need to concede to having some of your employees using macs.
Josiah Rogers
on a side note though, he'll be working with .NET, he'll need windows for that shit, I mean he can install windows dual boot on a mac, but idk.
Check the Thinkpad X1 Extreme, you can custom it with 1TB SSD (2 ssds on raid), bump up the CPU, and you're golden.
Noah Cooper
As far as I know, no one here recommended buying a mac, so I assumed you were talking in generic terms.
And yeah for .net obv get a windows machine.
Also, dual boot/virtual machines generally sucks ass for anything but small projects.
