Hi, so I am coming off a 2 year sabbatical from my technology obsession among other things and now I want to get back, 'refocused' and all. lol. I want to get a laptop to use. I want a laptop that delivers performance for some tasks I will be doing:
1) Software development
2) Local data analysis for my day trading strategy backtesting
3) Video editing and rendering (For my Youtube channel)
*Also importantly, I want to have some kind of hybrid setup where my stuff runs on AWS but a lot of the development and testing done on the local machine. So maybe it should be seamless with Linux ( not necessarily running Linux primarily) or alternatively VMs.
So I am looking for a really good laptop for this. Or perhaps a specific configuration to go for. I have some money for quality, but nothing too extreme or overkill.
Bonus points for a good monitor, a keypad and an ergonomic home office chair and headphones.
