Ask HN: Laptop for Programming?
I want to buy a new laptop for coding, creating content and editing video. Budget is less than $1000.
Please suggest me some good cheap laptop options. I am open to buy desktop also if it is cheaper.

They all are 1000$ You can check Huawei and Xiaomi, they are cheaper and good quality https://www.google.com/search?q=huawei+16gb&oq=huawei+16gb&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l7.2131j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=huawei+16gb&oq=huawei+16gb&a...
- harpratap 6y agoIf you plan to use Docker I'd recommend not buying a Macbook. It runs inside a VM on OSX and is really bad at performance, you can literally save hours per week waiting for commands to run on OSX.
