Today there are a huge number of different models and complete sets of laptops, but they can not always meet expectations, and it is especially difficult to find a good laptop for programming.
Programmers are people who choose a mobile and powerful device for their work. Most often, they have to work not only at home or in the office, but also during the trip. Naturally, a stationary computer is not suitable for this kind of activity, so a laptop is chosen. As you know, laptops do not always have good hardware, but in any case, almost everyone can choose exactly what he needs.
How to choose a laptop?
First, the programmer needs to pay attention to the size of the laptop, to its diagonal. Naturally, 15-inch devices will be bulky for most and it will be simply inconvenient to handle such a "giant", for example, during a trip. The best option is a 13 "laptop, although even this may seem too large for some.
In addition, the weight of the laptop in this case also plays a big role. It will be quite difficult to carry devices that weigh 2.5 or more kilograms (especially if you have to travel long distances from home to work). Therefore, it is best to choose a computer that weighs no more than 1.5 kilograms.
Of course, do not forget about the components used and the Internet. Of course, in each model these parameters will be different, but, perhaps, each programmer determines them independently (depending on the tasks that he needs to solve). In addition, the laptop should hold a charge for at least 4 hours, and buying less for a programmer simply does not make sense.
Suitable models
Three laptop models are ideal for such requests. These are: HP ProBook 4310 (weight: 2 kg, video card: HD 4330, battery life: 4 hours, processor: C2D 2Ghz-2.5Ghz), Acer Timeline / TravelTime 3810 (weight: 1.65 kg, video card: HD 4330, time work without charging: 8 hours, processor: C2D 1.4Ghz) and ASUS UL30VT (weight: 1.5 kg, video card: GF 210, operating time without charging: 8 hours, processor: C2D 1.3 (1.7) Ghz). Each of these laptops costs about 30 thousand rubles, but which one is better to choose?
In terms of weight and video card, it is the first laptop that is inferior. Its main advantage is only the processor, so it can be considered that it immediately "drops out". As for the second option, this laptop has only one drawback - an integrated video card, which is inferior in quality to the last computer.
As a result, there is only one left - ASUS UL30VT. This computer is quite light (compared to others), without charging it can work for 8 hours, and its video card and processor allow you to run some modern games and various graphic applications that are demanding on system resources. Of course, everyone independently determines the most important parameters for a laptop and everyone makes their final choice, but, perhaps, this particular option will be the most suitable for most programmers.
