Sorry, book discussions are not allowed on this thread! I had to hide some of my own posts too...

elvis10ten: @ sir seun. I think you should go with the one you have in mind.

I'm not satisfied with the Dell XPS L502x either, because it's an old and discontinued model. Procuring it will be harder in the future. I wish for a future-proof 15/17 inch Laptop model with backlit keys, a non-matte 1080p screen (or 15 inch 900p), SSD, windows 8 and a touch screen or a large multitouch keypad, a core i7 processor, and home/end/pgup/pgdown/del keys.

Shack_Attack: Simply get a dual screen and plug into the lapi.

I considered that, but I think there is much value in using laptops with big screens exclusively. Workstation portability within the office will probably enable effortless collaboration.

spikes C: And no one mentioned the dell alienware series

The Alienware m18x and 17 are great, but far too expensive.

I.Joan:
Sorry!!! Thought you meant you moved this thread to the recycle bin!

Oh. No harm done. Have a fantastic weekend!

I.Joan:
Did you really have to say this

That's a very odd question. It's obvious that you don't want me to provide any feedback to the creators of this thread. Why is that?

I'm pleased to inform you that I moved the thread to the recycle bin sometime ago.

aminho: Oga I wll prefer the dell xps 15 its so good

I'm with you bro. My Dell XPS 15 L502X is the best programming laptop I've ever used. All the new laptops I've studied are inferior to it in one way or the other, including the more modern versions of the Dell XPS. All that's required to make it absolutely perfect is to replace the hard disk drive with a 128GB solid state drive. It's also easy to repair and maintain. However, I'm worried about the age of that model. Newer Windows laptops have touchscreens, Windows 8, super-fast Haswell processor. I also think the 15 inch display is suboptimal since programmers love big displays and the 1080p resolution feels a bit cramped on the 15 inch display - it would probably be perfect on a 17 inch display!

mancheeutd: hmm oga @ the top needs a new lappy why nt go for any of the best accer products its always portable n durable i bet u would love it

I sort-of own an Acer Timeline with 5 - 7 hours of battery life. I loved that pretty laptop, but it was very unreliable and fragile. Every time I stopped using it for a few weeks, it would stop working and I would have have it repaired the next time I wanted to use it. As a result of this experience, I think it will be difficult for me to consider another Acer Laptop.

lordZOUGA: I think you should consider the Lenovo ThinkPad T series. ThinkPad T530. it comes in different configurations, ranging from core i3 to i7. it should be a good choice.

Two negatives: (1) Unlike the Dell XPS, it lacks the home, end, pgup, & pgdown keys, which are very helpful for navigating code. (2) It has a matte display. I hate matte displays. I know this because I upgraded my Dell XPS's 768p glossy display to a 1080p matte display and I could not stand it. I eventually had to import a glossy 1080p display which I love. The problem with matte displays is that they are manufactured by smearing a layer of distracting grainy muck on lovely glossy displays. Many people say matte displays are better, but I think they are wrong. Reflections on a glossy can be distracting, but you can avoid them by simply turning your laptop screen away from bright lights. The grain and murkiness of matte displays, on the other hand, cannot be avoided no matter where you are or what you do. Matte screens are not so great outdoors either; they tend to look washed out.

you can check the dell xps 13 developer edition laptop. it was built for developers and comes with ubuntu as the main OS.

Thanks, but many developers swear by their giant monitors. This makes me feel that a 13-inch laptop would not be desirable.

Is this about Nairaland dying or about a particular thread that should not have been posted on the home page?

Can I still nominate myself?

You can't expect your wife to do it with the knowledge that her mother is listening to everything. Be a man and fix the situation.

outc@st:
seun disrespected JeSoul and accused her falsely in the process...I was the first on the scene, I guess, and demonstrated that his accusations were baseless and his disrespect for her was uncalled for.

The very next day he sent his lieutenant after me as a result.

I apologized to JeSoul and I did not send anyone after you. I don't know you from Adam, truly.

Thanks. Why not post the full specs for each laptop you advertise?

Does it have a backlit keyboard?
What's the resolution of the screen?

That's the bank rate; the rate bid by the bank on behalf of customers who could not choose their own rates.

van bonattel: oam4j, afam and other moderators,can you please fry three eggs for me? place it in a loaf sandwich and add a rich plaster of butter and some fresh tomato with small salad cream and vegetables, bring it up to my suite as I browse seun's forum. Merci.

how much cash do you have?

Gabbysky: Seun, isn't this fellow to be banned for the font used? Are we now allowed to mess up this glorious site with this type of nonsense? I'm just asking.

@Afam4eva: all it takes to ruin your enjoyment of the books is one sentence. Don't risk it.
