asked on Best laptop for VM's?
Hello gurus
I am an IT consultant for few companies and do a lot of work on sparx enterprise architect (IREB) and also do a lot VM testing.
I am wondering what is the best laptop suitable for this as I work a lot on the go...
I'm considering the Lenovo P71.
It has the advantage to have 2 HDD and a big screen.on the flip side it is heavy....
Any recommendation based on your experience?
Thx

14' is too small when u work on Sparx or any engineering software.
I agree that 17' might be too much (since the weight will tax u) but 15 should be "ok"

It is 1920x1080 so I get lots is screen space. Look at a T400 series if you need 15 inches. The T series comes in both and with SSD drive you should still come out 2 Kg or a bit less

I am a big fan of Lenovo notebooks but also check out the Dell Precision 5520. It can have 2 Solid State Drives (one is M2. format), up to 32gb of RAM and an edge to edge 15 inch screen, a back-lit keyboard and USB-C. About 4 pounds.

what do u think of ASUS ROG G752VS ?
I do not like ASUS. Too many people have issues with them and around here ASUS Support is not particularly good. Please stick with name brands.
