Acer Swift 3 for 550€/500$ on Amazon I was looking for a really well built budget notebook, with good keyboard, good screen and good battery life, low noise emission, while willing to sacrifice performance. The Swift 3 fits the bill beautifully. I got an i3, 4GB ram, 128GB ssd with 14 inch screen (basically the SF314-51-30W6). There are different configurations available, if you are looking for more cpu, gpu, ram, sc…
I was having trouble deciding on a laptop until just yesterday actually, when I finally settled on getting Dell's new Inspiron 7000 Gaming. For reference, here are the specs for the one I ordered: - i7-7700HQ - GTX 1060 (Max-Q version with slightly lower perf) - 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 (expandable up to 32GB) - 4K display ($150 upgrade from base) - 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Intel 8265 802.11ac WiFi (as opposed to the Killer cr…
Specs look interesting, however I fell for this a few years ago with a Lenovo IdeaPad Z510. Build quality is the keyword, after a few years the plastics starts falling apart. Keyboard as well.

A word of warning: The 'clickpad' on the X240 is the most unpleasant piece of computing hardware I have ever had the displeasure to use. The clickpad has a ton of travel, and all of that travel is mushy. It sometimes doesn't even register clicks, and right-clicking is an exercise in frustration. It was so bad I thought there was something defective about the version I had, so I had it replaced, and it was the same ho…
Any better on X250?

Second. Refurb Thinkpads are great for anyone requiring power and stability on a budget.
Just bought a refurbished t460 through Lenovo's outlet website for $400, it is the best laptop purchase I've made. There were several 40% off sales on their website recently. I highly recommend buying from them. It came in two days and I cannot tell if it was used before or not, in great condition.
I'm going to use this thread as I'm in the same situation: - Budget 1000 euros - Work: Mostly front-end but also some Node/PHP/Java and IDEs - Location : France
I have a 2012 13" MacBookAir that I have used for tens of thousands of hours. With 8GB of RAM it handles most things, even 1080p footage in Final Cut Pro. I did just put a new battery in it. Other than that it has been flawless, and I bet they are cheap now.
The most recent Lenovo T4x0 or T4x0s (a thinner version) that you can afford. Add more memory and a larger ssd disk as needed. There is nothing wrong with used 3-4 years old machines. Processor power hasn't increased much. Just check the screen resolution, and factor in the extra cost if you need to add memory and swap the ssd disk. The 440 series from 3 years ago didn't have physically separate mouse buttons on the…
