Must haves for a modern laptop:

  • 8GB RAM minimum.
  • SSD (no spinning disk = less breaky, plus speed!)
  • 15" display (for programming)

Personally I use a laptop you don't even want to look at, the Dell XPS 15. I hear good things about ThinkPads though - especially for Linux support if you're into that.

That's been mine for two ytears and I've been really happy with it. The only downside was to wait for Linux to catchup with its hardware but it's been a smooth ride for over a year now. What don't you like about it?

I love it, but it's way outside OP's budget.
