				Little but maybe already known tip: set the system clock of windows to UTC in the registry to avoid timezone headaches.

				Thats true had a lot of then actually thought windows had no sense of time ! @darksideplease

				There are two several ways some of them are, partition the disk and use a VM. Any laptop with a SSD 128+ will suffice.

				@zpook probably not but booting windows and Linux in a crap book pro? Doesn't sound right

ddulic2179yWhat kind of dev? Of you are a game dev look at the Lenovo y series. Good bang for your buck - 
				
				ethan79y@Drekt I've been looking at the XPS 13. It seems nice and 512gb SSD is enough to give both OS's enough space.

Prysim4089y@ethan it's a killer laptop. Got mine a few weeks back and love it. Storage is changeable so you can bump it up to 1TB if needed, future proof with a USB type c port and its a 13 inch laptop in the body of an 11 inch laptop. So easy to carry around all day. Only thing I would suggest. Get 16gb of ram as it is soldered on. - 
				
				@zpook that's cool, btw it was a joke (crap book), in fact I have several friends who do the same.
 

Any suggestions on a laptop for a dev? I hope to dual boot Windows and Linux. Any suggestions are appreciated! 😃
