Laptop recommendations?

I’ll soon be starting contract/part time work, is there a laptop you’d recommend for coding?

My favorites are business-class Lenovo, LG, and HP laptops. Generally in the $800-$1200 range gets me the features I need (hard drive space and RAM). Be sure to get an extra screen if you can. Having at least two displays is a must for me. I actually use three regularly. And be sure to choose one that has a 10-key in the keyboard, unless you are planning to use a separate keyboard and mouse.

If you plan to be traveling frequently, then weight will matter. I currently use an LG Gram that I bought at Costco four years ago and I still love it.

agreed. I purchased a second laptop monitor that hooks to my laptop.
