12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I don't like Asus and HP. I had an awful experience with these brands, warranty issues and support centre.
I like Lenovo and Dell. In my opinion they are very reliable and strong laptops. Currently my company gave me Lenovo T450s and i just love it. Unfortunately i am not allowed to develop my private projects on this laptop. I had Dell M4600 too - it was awesome. I could buy used w520 or M4600 for 800$, but i'm scared of lack of warranty and potential issues due to heavy use.
13. What country do you live in?
Poland
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Currently i'm working on ASP.NET projects and also plan to write some WP 8 apps. These are my private projects which are not particularly big. I have desktop machine which runs Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise smoothly, but i'd like to write some code when i'm out. I don't expect this laptop to handle extremely heavy duty like compiling 1,5 million code lines solution, but it'd be nice if it could handle VS2015 smoothly for small projects.
Unfortunately my budget is only 800-900$(My recent MBP purchase severely hurt my wallet). Here in Poland electronics are usually around 100$ more expensive than in the US. Here i can spend equivalent of 1000$, but to make it easier for you i'm asking for 800-900$ US price.
I considered Lenovo E450 with i7(5500U), 16 gigs of RAM, 192 SSD(i'd buy more later on), or 8GB option to save up money for larger SSD drive. However i don't know if it will run VS2015 properly. I've been using Visual Studio on pretty high-end machines, so i have no sense of which budget PC can actually run it.
Thanks in advance
