Hi everybody,
I am looking for advice on what laptop to purchase for my job, school work and leisure time.
For my work, I am an IT and Web Support Specialist for a local store. In my daily work, I code application software in both Eclipse and in Xcode. I also create HTML e-mails and update the website periodically.
For my school work, I am obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a duel emphasis in database administration and software development. I often use Microsoft Visual Studio and NetBeans. I will also be learning more about Linux and setting up network servers in my next semester, do a laptop that can handle virtualization or dual-booting will be necessary.
In my leisure time, I enjoy watching YouTube and Twitch streams, playing League of Legends and soon, The Sims 4. I often edit photos for family members and update websites for them using Photoshop and Dreamweaver, respectively.
Overall, I'm looking for a laptop that I can travel with, get what needs to be done quickly, yet still relax with it.
One conflict I realize is that Xcode is Mac only, and Microsoft Visual Studio is Windows only. So I realize I will need to run either Parallels with a MacBook or VMWare with a Windows PC.
My budget is around $1,500 and I can push it maybe 100-200 dollars more with some begging and pleading. So hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks!
