What is a good laptop for programming,

I have the Thinkpad X1C. One of the best keyboards available for a laptop. If you haven't already, check it out. the 500NITS display is amazing even in full sunlight.

What size screen is good for programming,
I am now using a alienware 17 r2, but it is to heavy and to big to take to school
My requirement:
1. arround 15 inch (i think it is a good size, what i saw on google)
2. Not to heav arround 2 kilo.
3. under a 1000 euro
4. doesn't matter if it is used.
5. equal or better than a MX150 GPU
6. Not a gaming laptop, if possible a notebook

I saw a xiaomi mi notebook pro, it has all my requirement but it is a chinese brand,
I want a brand like HP, dell, asus.

hope you guys can help me out.

I think people put too much emphasis on the laptop, really anything half decent will do, as long as you got a numpad

Then Buy something with Intel Processor and install Hackintosh, you get better Hardware for less Money by it.
Anyways, alone the Terminal is absolutly no reasson to change from Windows to Mac.
Install Git or MobaXTerm and you have the same Terminal on Windows.
What i really would recommened is a Device which Supports at least 2 Screens and in my Oppinion this is the only reasson why a weak Raspberry Pie is not enough for Programming

This guy is sort of right. Except that MacBook Pros are Dope!

I'd rather have a Mac, then put Win 10 on a VM (Parallels is the best imo). I use my Mac for University and I enjoy being able to have a full PC and a full Mac OS at my disposal all with a quick slide of my fingers. It's insanely fast and I also have Kalle Linux I use via Virtual Box.

The only reason to not have a Mac is if you are gaming imo. As far as school goes I can do anything a PC can do and love the Apple's structure, OS, and simplicity.

mac is the best and in the end you will need pc

get a HP Zbook, its really good.

it really does not matter the type of laptop you use but the specifications of the laptop it's self personally I would go with a high end amd processor 7 core preferably minimum 8 gigs of ram, at the very most a 4 gigabyte graphics processor, monitor size don't really matter for me that is because I hook up my tv to my laptops anyways. but make sure you got a pretty decent sized hard drive depending on what your trying to develop.

it doesnt matter to much, just good stuff on it

You don't really need a good Laptop for programming, unless you are doing game developing but you dont even need much either.

I would agree with previous about Apple products. I bought my macbook pro in 2015, it works perfectly. Honest truth, im not sure I would buy right away newest models, but my early 2015 is amazing. Would not change it for nothing.

just get a laptop with i5 or i7, 8gb ram, maybe with SSD in case if you want to use windows as well as ubuntu on VM
