Hi, I need to get a new laptop. The laptop willbe used 90% of the time for programming. Some people recommended me Thinkpads but then I discovered this page and I wanted some advice.
Has anyone tried the Lafité Pro 14 (specifications below) with Linux before (I will probably be changing distros every now and then, most of the time Pop OS, Ubuntu or Manjaro). If so, any problem? I got a bit worried after selecting Linux and seeing this:
Also, anyone with more knowledge of processors can tell me if going for an i7 instead an i5 is worth the money?
EDIT: Also, is it worth the more expensive wifi, and what can you guys tell me about battery duration?
Thanks!
