Hello there
I need advice on what laptop to get. Price is unimportant BUT lets keep it reasonable, under 1200€ (not including additional monitor).
I work in QA and bug testing, and I need a machine that I will be able to multiboot different versions of windows including Win7 and Win8 (XP and Vista would be a nice bonus) and the upcoming Win10 if possible, as well as at least one version of Linux. I need it to be a stable and reliable machine that will be working 9 hours a day minimum, so no heating issues preferable. Weight and battery life is unimportant since I will make a docking station of it, which means at least 4 USB ports would be preferable since I will be plugging in keyboard and mouse. I am also considering plugging in an additional monitor into it so capable graphics and a monitor port are a big bonus, that said this won't be a gaming rig so no extreme speed expected. DVD reader would be nice as well.
SCREEN is important, it has to be SMALL. Yes, small, because its a testing machine, and most meatbags carry 1366x768 resolution 15 inch or smaller screens.
I perform tests mostly on web applications and web pages, sometimes but rarely independent software. if that helps decision making any.
I would be very thankful for any suggestions and recommendations.
