    Yeah pretty all of what you quoted is all about screens. Bit one tracked.

    You don't have to reply. Just ignore me :) click the ignore button.

    That's my thinking alright

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a new laptop for me, I've started work as a contractor as I.T. Support and Software Dev...
    Intended use: programming, development,...

    Do you really work all day on a 13" screen doing development?

    Dell all the way, when it comes to a business spec machine.
    The next business day support cannot be matched by any other vendor on this Island.

    You have to account when things go Pete Tong.

    That's what I was thinking. Especially if contracting.
    I've not used Dell support for a while though.

    If it's your only machine and it's work critical you might want to consider upgrading the service warranty. Im assuming as a contractor you're paying for it yourself.

    Beast of the laptop for the money

    https://www.techradar.com/reviews/honor-magicbook-pro-2020-16-inch-laptop#:~:text=Final%20verdict&text=On%20the%20whole%20though%2C%20the,rounded%20and%20polished%20computing%20experience.
    this is the fastest non-workstation laptop we have tested to date The combination of a very fast processor, a capable graphics subsystem, ample system memory and a nippy SSD mean.s that this is a supremely capable laptop that will easily take on the mantle of a mobile workstation.
