12 Years ago I had a Sony Vaio. I quite liked it. Then in my next job, 2017 or so, I went for a Toshiba Portege, and absolutely loved it.
Guess what the above two have in common? Yup, they stopped making laptops for the professional market. So now I'm a bit at a loss. Any recommendations?
Requirements:
Lightweight and easy to carry around.
13-15" display, preferably
Decent battery life
It absolutely must have an RJ45
Works well with linux
Good keyboard quality
ISO keyboard availability
Touchpad. Bonus points if it has the touchpad buttons ABOVE the pad itself.
Lenovo onboard power issues very common at my job. Toshiba was great way back when. Surface pro nifty but battery is crap. I hate to say it but dell makes ok laptops
