Sorry if this is an offtopic in this group. I want to buy a laptop for Java development. Of course the question would be simple if I were doing just plain Java development. But I want to try new technologies often used with Java - Kubernetes, Docker etc. That's why I'm asking it here. These technologies (K8s, Docker) use virtualization. I know that you need to set something in BIOS/UEFI to run Docker. Some years ago I had to buy a new CPU to run 64-bit virtual machines, because my previous CPU was not supporting 64-bit guest virtual machines. The feature in question was called VT-x. Of course the sure thing would be to buy a Mac, but I want a 500-600 EUR laptop. So the question is: 1) Do I need to search for some show-stopper CPU features when choosing a computer? 2) Anything that does not work on AMD chips? 3) Is 8GB RAM sufficient for small/medium sized personal projects? 4) Any other pitfalls? 5) Is Windows 10 Home somehow unusable for professional software development?
