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.

    I love my t14s, but it doesn’t have a rj45.

    E14 would tick that box. Not as fancy as t series when it comes to materials and whatnot, but pretty damn solid machine still

      You’re expected to use a dock or usb nic with a laptop. Usb is a better design for regularly unplugged.
