Best Work Laptop?
New firm told me I can choose any laptop to start with, Apple, Windows, Lenovo, Surface Pro, etc. I've always used Lenovos in the past and never had any issues with them. Any thoughts on the Surface Pro or any Macbook as a work laptop in PE? Thought the Surface Pro might be interesting, but not sure if it's conducive to our line of work.
Or should I just stick with a generic-ass windows laptop and call it a day?
Has been asked and answered multiple times--Go with a Lenovo X1
Any downsides you can think of for the Surface Pro? Figure I'll be on the move a lot, having the tablet portion might be helpful
Not really that much utility in a tablet as an associate, at least not enough to pick a Surface Pro over a full-blown laptop.
Lenovo X1 Carbon. Couple of my friends have to use Surface Pros and nobody prefers them over Lenovos.
Alright enough said, I'll go with the Carbon
Lol good luck using a Mac in PE
Yeah that's what I figured, but they said half the team has a Mac, half use Microsoft. I went Microsoft to be safe
Fascinating. Is this traditional buyout?
HP x360
I use the surface pro 8 and absolutely love it. It's insanely light and super easy to slip into a bag, and I like the different form factors it offers. Have absolutely no issues with performance either, can handle anything I throw at it.
The Lenovo X1 Carbon is great to hook up and work off monitors + docking stn. But I really dislike it as an on-the-go laptop - the fact that it it's FN on the most left-hand side really irks me. I also don't like the keyboard's placement of the PGUP/PGDN keys (adjacent to the top arrow).
Don't go for surface pro. Overrated. Can replace 90% of that functionality by getting an iPad and/or travel monitor.
If the firm says you can have anything you want - would look into the hp zbook line. They're north of $2K+ so can get pricey but they are absolute power horses
Regardless - the #1 most important thing is looking for a laptop w min 8GB memory and MUST BE SSD storage (any decent laptop should be SSD by now)
16gb min
You can swap the mapping of the FN and Control keys in settings
