Time for a new laptop, bored with current. Taking community suggestions. May donate current laptop to some poor dev soul in need; has been a trustworthy machine.

I do some of a lot on any given day: c#, PHP, node and typically run vs 2017, phpstorm, datagrip, sql management, webstorm, plus slack, office, etc.

I have terrible browser tab management skills and prefer electron apps over web apps. Am a vm junkie, constantly spinning up linux distros to see something.

Do light gaming when the mood strikes, Spotify or Netflix always on.

Suggest away.

    More than satisfied with my Dells!
    I'm not too sure about the gaming though

    I have a System76 laptop - the Gazelle. It's got Intel graphics, so no dedicated GPU, but it plays quite a few titles pretty well.

    If you don't wanna go that route, the top rated brands are Asus, Lenovo, and Toshiba. Stick with those three and it should last you a while.

    Dell XPS. Ubuntu edition. At least that's what I want to have

    I had the dell xps for about a month, it was a really really great machine but mine had graphics problems (screen was "strobo" flashing from time to time), so I returned it. I would still recommend it though

    Dell Inspiron gaming 15 7000, I'm getting the i7 7700hq model but you can easily get the 800$ one. It's the only gaming laptop that isn't looking aggressive and stupidly "gaming"

    If ur very light on gaming, u dont need a dedicated gpu... In which case, get a dell xps machine... Or hell even a thinkpad wud do u well if ur on a relatively tight budget...
    But if u NEED a dedicated gpu, i think asus' new gaming laptops (10xx graphics cards) r pretty neat
