I'm looking for a particular laptop and since there are over hundreds of laptops on the market, I would like to share recommendations and experiences here. While there are plenty of questions here on Girlfriend.net, I may have other requirements.
First of all, it shouldn't be an Apple product, nothing against the quality and condition of the Macbooks, but I can't get along with the Mac OS operating system and therefore simply impractical.
The laptop can weigh a little, of course not a chunk, but since I often have it in my backpack it will be fine.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the specs of the laptops and therefore I do not know exactly what is good. He should be able to do the following
[Price range up to 1500 euro / CHF]
Render and cut 4k recordings (RAM / RAM)
Durable (that it won't break after months or years)
I mainly program on it (C #, C ++) with Unity and Visual Studio.
It should be powerful so that I can connect the laptop to other screens, possibly also on my graphics tablet because I also draw pictures at work.
Good battery runtimes (of course, high performance needs a lot of battery but for normal things like YouTube, drawing small things, designing, working bureaucrats like e-mail & Word, it should last 10H or longer because I often travel with it and also on vacation, tours through the Wilderness not even have a power socket to hand.
Not a convertible but that the screen has touch would not bother me.
Lastly, I'll name a few laptops and you can vote which one is good, and maybe a reason. By the way, what do you think of the Microsoft Surface Books 2/3?
Thank you for reading through and possibly recommending a laptop.
I can't recommend a laptop to you now, but I would advise against the Surface Books. I think Linus Tech Tips once made a video about it. Unfortunately, the Surface books have relatively little performance for the price. But there are many good, handy gaming notebooks in the price range.
I bought the following laptop for almost 1400 euro a few months ago and I'm satisfied:
HP zBook 15v G5 15.6 "UHD i7-9750H 32GB / 2TB + 512GB SSD P600 DOS 8JL61ES
Intel Core i7-9 9750H processor (up to 4.5 GHz), hexa-core
39.6 cm (15.6 ") Ultra-HD 16: 9 display (anti-glare), webcam
32 GB RAM, 2,512 GB hybrid, fingerprint
NVIDIA Quadro P600 graphics (4096 MB), HDMI, Thunderbolt 3, USB3.0, WLAN
No operating system, battery life up to 10 hours, 2.6 kg
I don't know any MacOs, but the new M1 chips in the 2021 Macbooks are just amazing and price performance is relatively very, very good for Apple.
I used MacOs for the first time in August and fell in love within a few weeks.
The so-called active corners are helpful here, as long as you have set a corner on the desk.
I think Linus Tech Tips once made a video about it.
I can confirm that I only saw the comparison myself a few days ago. The comparison was mainly about the M1 Macs and Windows with ARM architecture. In a nutshell, you shouldn't voluntarily tie yourself to your leg.
