12 Years ago I had a Sony Vaio. I quite liked it. Then in my next job, 2017 or so, I went for a Toshiba Portege, and absolutely loved it.
Guess what the above two have in common? Yup, they stopped making laptops for the professional market. So now I’m a bit at a loss. Any recommendations?
Requirements:
- Lightweight and easy to carry around.
- 13-15" display, preferably
- Decent battery life
- It absolutely must have an RJ45
- Works well with linux
- Good keyboard quality
- ISO keyboard availability
- Touchpad. Bonus points if it has the touchpad buttons ABOVE the pad itself.
Lenovo Thinkpad t14’s. The x-series are ok, but definitely not anything outside of the thinkpad sub-brand.
Dell latitude used to be the work sub-brand and probably still is.
Hp has a work sub-brand but I don’t know what it is.
Also ran contenders include MS Surface and MacBook.
Anyone else recommending anything else are out of the loop.
