Ask HN: Which developer laptop should I buy?
Hey HN,<p>I am looking to buy a new laptop. My primary OS will be ubuntu. Which laptop would you guys recommend? My main criteria is that it should be light and work without any hiccups with ubuntu.<p>I've been looking around and it seems a lot of developers prefer Lenovo X220. The new carbon X1 looks good too. Does anyone have any experience with them?<p>Has anyone tried running Ubuntu (dual boot or otherwise) on a Macbook Air? Does it work without any issues?<p>Any of the new touchscreen laptops worth checking out?<p>My budget is around a 1000$ but I wouldn't mind spending some more if it means getting the best machine.<p>Thanks for your suggestions!
