PetarP946yYou can code on a "toaster" and lots of people do because when you increase the specs to the point of it being a gaming machine, your battery life drops from like 7 hours to 1.
If you want a gaming machine buy one and you'll be able to code on it as well. If you want to keep the battery life buy a second hand thinkpad and game on something else.
And if you want to go the two machines route you can build a PC for gaming since a gaming laptop is basically an expensive PC with the low battery life. -
I've got a shitty-brand, 800€ device. (Not available anymore I guess, if you want the exact model you gotta search my last weekly rant)
Look out for those, dunno where you're from but in Germany a supermarket like Aldi got some neat stuff sometimes. It's much much cheaper than the same device from, dunno ASUS. -
I am jealous of people that can still play games while coding. Its been a year and I still couldn't finish witcher 3
What's a decent budget laptop you would recommend for gaming and coding?
