I was in Best Buy, last night, looking for a new laptop. I'm significantly more experienced with Windows, but mostly OS-agnostic. I told the two guys there as much, and said I was looking for either a Macbook Pro 16 or something reasonably comparable in a Windows laptop. I do web/cloud development and want something that's going to be able to handle (potentially) a virtual machine, 3-4 docker images, and 3-4 instances of Visual Studio, Rider, and/or IntelliJ, along with Slack, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other background processes concurrently without feeling too sluggish.
One guy was adamant that the top tier Surface Laptop 3 would be the right pick. It's a darn sexy machine and lightweight. I'd love it to be the right one, but reviews I've read indicate that the mobile Ryzen 7 processor just isn't up to the task. Anyone have hands-on experience and want to share?
