Personal favourite is the Dell XPS 13, or 15 if you want more screen size + some gpu power.
Although, I still think a desktop should be your main machine, cost/power ratio is a lot better, and you can upgrade it as you go -
Something with like an i3 or i5, it doesnt really matter, good hardware wont make anyone a good developer

@OnlyBytes no, it shortens compilation time, something you only have to deal with every 20 minutes or so

@RazorSh4rk Well it is also no joy if your editor is lagging all the time while you write code... Trust me I know what I am talking about...
Wrote some code once in Visual Studio Code on a Asus Transformer Book T100... It was definitely no joy...😅 -
@OnlyBytes mate, my travel machine is an atom, and it runs eclipse perfectly, whats in that transformer, an oldschool celeron?
