Laptop recommendations for developers with all budgets

Computers, in particular laptops, are the essential tool for any developer. Sure having a nice keyboard and mouse can boost your productivity and comfort, but we can’t even work without a good computer.
There are many different types of developers out there, those who use the terminal for everything, even coding, those like me that use IDEs built on Java, which are a bit resource-intensive. There are web developers, desktop developers, game developers, and much more.
Because of so many preferences and styles, we will focus the article on multiple purpose developers, nothing too specific, so laptops that will help most of us enjoy our work and produce fantastic value.
The best laptops for coding will be the right combination of OS, resources, and comfort. Without any further ado, let’s review the best developer laptops for 2021.
Dell XPS 15
The first machine that appears on our list is the Dell XPS 15. It has expeditious performance and an aesthetically appealing design. The dell XPS 15 is the laptop I currently own (though I have an older model), and I love it.
The laptop features a stunning 15.6-inch with up to a 4k screen resolution. Dell offers the laptop in multiple configurations for different budget levels, having options from using a 10th generation Intel Core i5-i7 CPU, 8-64 GB RAM, a storage memory of 256GB-1TB SSD, and an Intel Iris Plus Graphics - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti.
The dedicated graphics performance gives you the liberty to handle high graphical works, like video editing or rendering. Another great thing about it is its battery. It has an excellent battery life, which means you need not be hitched to a desk any time you want to program with this powerful device.
The laptop officially doesn’t support Linux, and even if you ask dell operators, they would say there’s no support for Linux. However, most Linux distributions would run without any issues on these devices. I run anything on my laptop from Arch, Manjaro, Linux Mint, Ubuntu.
Apple MacBook Pro 16
We can’t talk about the best laptops for programming without talking about the MacBook Pro. It is one of the bests all-around laptops, featuring MacOS and its characteristic performance. We are still waiting for the 16 inches model to feature the M1 processor (hopefully coming out soon).
MacOS is perfect for developers as it combines a brilliant and smooth interface with a powerful command-line and UNIX like architecture, giving the best of both worlds. If budget is not an issue, it’s definitely worth getting a MacBook Pro.
System76 Pop Os Download
This laptop is so popular among developers that most companies will now offer you a MacBook Pro as the default laptop.
Apple MacBook Air with M1 chip
Apple MacBook Air is a vital refreshed and has ushered in a few significant updates, a high-speed & responsive interface, noiseless use, a similar design as the last model, and fanless, making it one of the best laptops for web development.
Though it is not a powerhouse like the MacBook Pro (or other high tech Windows laptops), it comes with the new M1-chip, which is specifically designed for Mac and offers unparalleled performance.
This laptop will not let you down, and it will handle all daily tasks with no issues, making it a perfect budget laptop for those who want MacOS.
Dell Inspiron
The Dell Inspiron is a budget laptop that suits many developers’ needs, with multiple configurations allowing it to expand its available memory makes it a strong candidate for web developers.
This laptop earned many developers’ hearts by being an affordable solution that can run Linux and Windows with good performance.
Microsoft Surface Pro 7
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is the best Windows 10 tablet computer you can purchase today. It runs Linux OS exceptionally well.
The Surface Pro X line’s most significant issue so far has been the very same thing that makes it stand out, and that’s the fact that it is built upon an ARM-based processor.
Oryx Pro by System76
System76 is a company that builds computers and laptops for Linux. They even have their own Linux distribution called PopOS, which builds on top of Ubuntu.
Though I have never owned one myself, it’s on my wishlist as the company claims that their hardware runs perfectly on Linux, making it a great experience.
All laptops come with either PopOS or Ubuntu installed, and the configurations are endless. Select the one that better fits your needs and budget and enjoy!
ConclusionThere is no one laptop to fit all, but there are great laptops in each category. My favorite laptop today is the Dell XPS. I owned multiple versions of that laptop in the past and never let down. They have great Linux support, the hardware for the price is excellent, and the laptops are beautiful and well designed.
Another solid personal choice is the MacBook Pro 16 inches. MacOS is hard to beat, I use it for my 9 to 5 job, and I love the experience. I would be delighted and super productive with it. It’s just that my heart belongs to Linux, and you can read more about it in my article about working with Linux and MacOS.
