MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
My old Vaio is having a hard time running Visual Web Developer/ASP.Net, its really too slow to work with. Its a 6 year old 512mb RAM, 1.5 ghz pentium thing so not up to today's stds.
I intend to develop business (shopping) applications and hope to turn this into a career move. So what laptop would you recommend ? I only want something that will do a good job and not have silly extras (web cam, blueray players etc).
Wouldn't you be better off with a decent desktop/workstation if you want to develop? I could imagine it'd soon be a pain having to do serious development work on a laptop.
whats your budget?
@woody2000, Only thought there is that I might need to have a laptop to take to client demos etc. So I thought perhaps a laptop with a separate large screen kept at home would be a good compromise.
Up to £1000.
Demos don't need the IDE though, do they? You could run IIS or Apache on the lappy for demos & develop on a proper machine 🙂
Could be right woody. Does seem a bit of a waste of my current laptop when it will be perfectly ok running demos via iis. What proper machine setup would you recommend?
