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.

Premium product experience at a premium price. Whether the cost premium is worth it is a judgment call for the user.

Premium product experience

The hardware is pretty premium, but the software is such a pain. As a result the overall experience is just “okay”.

I see you’ve never seen a Dell BPA

Dell is giving the Feds a premium experience?

More like Dell likes to appear premium:

  • Crappy Dell Latitude, Price: $6995, YOUR PRICE: 2995.

And on the website it’s like a $1000 laptop. And it still falls apart one year later.
