For a developer? None. but you can try with a Linux laptop

  Which Notebook is a "good" linux machine? All my "linux on NB" experiences so far have been kind of compromised with lack or quality of drivers - resulting in poor overall performance. E.g.: no/poor/intermittend wifi/BT, excessive battery drain, loud fans.

    Anything that's a pre-Skylake CPU with intel GPU shouldn't suffer from these issues. Skylake has been kinda a nightmare for power management and discrete GPU's (nvidia/amd) are a mixed bag, would avoid for a notebook. It's been a long time since I hit a <10 year old model with wifi issues aside from crappy broadcom (in my mbp) that still works fine just occasionally needs patching. Intel, atheros, ralink, realtek... should all be vendors that work fairly well.

  "For a developer? None." Do you really think there are no developers running Windows?
