Write a commentI have selected a $1499 computer (ASUS Zenbook Pro 14" 120hz OLED touch screen laptop) and a Macbook M4 Pro with 24GB RAM. I have until Tuesday to decide what I want, and price is a factor so I've narrowed down well what I want. For choosing what to buy I used Google Chrome and the Best Buy app on my phone. The Alienware M16 R2 had a screen that had poor nits brightness for modern times, and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 14" OLED 3K reminded me of how much gaming computers suck with their high heat and low battery life/portability. I didn't want the $1500 ASUS CoPilot+ PC because it is flimsy looking, but may look back. I put my decision in on Tuesday. The Macbook Pro M4 (or Pro) is a ton of money for 24 GB RAM, at $1799. I would have gotten it though.
I would need this system for running Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible, future proofing a DevOps job for my LinkedIn and resume. I want the extra RAM for docker/Kubernetes, systems administrator practice, and Ansible. I'm chosing a 32GB RAM model.
I'm excited about it.
