Ask HN: Decent £1000 Laptop for IT Student? Hi HN, I’m going to be an IT student in September and I'm looking for some advice on getting a new laptop. I’ll be using it for coding, maybe running a couple of virtual machines, and the usual uni stuff like taking notes and doing research. I might also dabble in a bit of graphic design and light gaming when I have time. Here’s what I’m thinking: I've asked at the uni and they recommend Intel or AMD with Windows. Needs to handle multitasking without slowing down. Something easy to carry around campus. Ideally lasts a full day without needing a charge. Costs around £1,000, but I can stretch a bit if it’s worth it. Any recommendations? |
