However, I wouldn’t recommend a laptop for deveopment. The problem is twofold

1. They usually don’t have good graphics cards

2. They overheat

I had a laptop, 4 core i7, 8GB, with a good graphics card and blew it up in under 6 months trying to write a game.

Better off spending your money on a desktop 🙂
