Laptop recommendation?
-
I'm looking for new laptops. One for the wife who mostly just surfs the web and watches netflix and one for myself which should be a decent dev machine (lots of ram, ssd etc).

I am waiting for these to appear more readily in the UK (think they are due this week or next) Asus UX301[^] 13" 2560x1400, 8GB, i7 Haswell, HD5000 if you want something bigger, you could go for its bigger brother UV500 or something like that...

Don't buy one. Get yourself a nice desktop pc :)
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Or do what I do and have an awesome desktop with a fairly cheap laptop. I remote in to the desktop from wherever I am at and do development that way. When I am at home in front of the desktop, I get my 4 1920x1080 monitors for doing a multimonitor app that we have, and on the road, I get access to it for its speed in building stuff. Best of both worlds......

Get one with a battery and a monitor. Without those they aren't much use.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost "All users always want Excel" --Ennis Lynch

One of my many reasons why i don't like laptops :laugh: 1) you cannot hock up the 42 inch + tv on the second hdmi output together with the monitor in the first hdmi output 2)if your card goes to hell(damn you Sapphire) rarely you can change it in your laptop with fair price[true story] 3)Bob help you if your motherboard's chipset decides to retire

Take a look at this survey which ranks them in terms of reliability: http://lifehacker.com/computer-manufacturers-ranked-how-to-pick-a-laptop-tha-1467145338[^]
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
