Ask HN: Best Windows/Linux developer laptop in 2025
19 by edtech_dev | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Requirements: * Macbook is not an option * I go through phases and switch between Windows and Linux as my primary OS. * Want to be able to mess around with some local LLMs. * I travel frequently, so portability is somewhat important. Currently own a 13 inch, but 14 inch should work too I think. Notes: * My current laptop is a 6yr old Dell XPS. It has generally served me well. * I bought an Asus Zenbook for a family member and I have been impressed with how well it has worked out. Anyone with any recent experience with Asus laptops for development? * I have had bad experiences with Lenovo twice, which makes me wary of Thinkpads, but willing to consider it if it makes the most sense. * Framework look very appealing but I have heard mixed reviews.
