Yup, just get my new laptop and I want to share it with you guys.
I got this one which is more than I suffice for the job.
I got the model before which came with a R5 2500u and I got a very nice performance, turns out that my father need a new laptop for its job (he's a mechanic) due to new software for analyzing car circuits and him laptop was a bit old for that so I gave my own to him and think on buying a new one.
I finally picked this one which is cheap, comes with the latest R5 3500u and adds a fingerprint reader and that huawei share that I'm not using because I'm with a Google Pixel 4 XL and I don't mean to change it on some years.
Yes but...
Why this one?
It's made of aluminum which is always preferred to plastic, it's a nice hardware for the price, low budget and I've already tried the model before which I used and tested for many jobs like video editing, coding, I tried it with windows, then linux, then another linux distro...
My overall experience was good, specially the keyboard, I really love that low profile, well distributed keyboard for coding!
I also used a Dell with an i5 8250u at the office which performance was too low so I was in need to pick another model, which was an HP with an i7 1065G7 and 16Gb RAM. Take in mind I've to code on a 1Gb+ coding project so this is not comparable at what I do at home. Even that a Ryzen adds more graphic power to the build so I can do more things specially on photo and video editing which are one of my hobbies.
I've also a desktop one with more power for heavier things but sometimes I need a laptop so here it is!
As a bonus I picked an offer on Huawei's official web site where I got a Watch GT 2e for 1 extra buck (0,99€ actually) so it's a double win to me 😆
Please, share your thoughts and tell us if you've any laptop or you run desktop only (or laptop only). Also which model or hardware you picked and why?
Have a nice day :)
