I'm now beginning to look at other options other than Apple. I quite like the look of the Microsoft 13.5" Surface Laptop as well as the Dell XPS 13, but does HN have any recommendations so far as non Apple laptops go?

Ideally I'm looking for something with SSD storage, 16GB-32GB RAM and ideally a core i7, but all recommendations are welcome.","time":1605556597,"title":"Ask HN: Best Development Laptop?","type":"story"}],[22151979,{"by":"bryk","descendants":8,"id":22151979,"kids":[22157343,22152120,22154007,22152077,22157201,22157145,22157683,22158739],"score":12,"text":"I want to improve my effective business English speaking skills.
