When you substitute a player during a match, this is sometimes referred to benching the player.

Thank you Pete.
CCCs are much harder for non native English speakers.

They can be hard for native English speakers as well. I didn't get this one.

In sport if you substitute someone you 'bench' them.
|
|
|
|
|
Nice one. But it'll be hard to bench you if you keep them at this level.

Good one! I didn't even get close.
Looking forward to your effort tomorrow, if it's that standard!

That's a folder, not a box.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You are right. Is this folder ok for dev? Tools would be mostly Microsoft, Visual Studio, SQL server, etc.

I used to use a laptop to do development but it was always way too slow. It was likely the slower hard drives but I would imagine if you get a fast enough laptop, it could work just fine.

I've been using Laptops for the last several years. It is relatively slow. This one has 16G ram. I wish it can have more. But from Dell site, I did not see an option for more.

Others have suggested SSD.

I have a core2duo laptop with 8 gb ram and an ssd (some custom parts) and do fine with basic c# development. I run both vs 2013 and 2010, again not doing anything graphic intensive, just some basic business front ends using winforms or sometimes wpf.

The largest ram I can see so far is 16. I assume this should be enough. My current laptop also has 8.

That pretty much summarizes my experience. Unless you can spend $3000+ on a laptop, you'll get much better bang for your buck with a desktop.
I usually have at least one powerful desktop, which usually runs me CAD 1000-1500, and a less powerful laptop (under CAD 1000) that can still run VS and all the dev goodies.
Currently you can get an XPS 8700 i7 with 32GB RAM for CAD 1100-1500 depending on the other goodies you want.
I built my last system (Shuttle XPC, i7-2600K, 16GB, 128GB SSD, and the usual stuff) for CAD 1000 over three years ago and it is still my daily driver.
I need a new one because I need quad-monitor support and I'm debating whether to go with 4th gen i7 (possibly the XPS 8700) or 5th gen i7 (LGA2011).

Rest of the spec looks good, but throw in a dedicated SSD for OS and as build drive. "Hybrid" helps but doesn't cut the cheese.

No. It's a folded box...He need to develop it until it becomes a true box!

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I generally recommend avoiding the 17" form factor unless you're doing something that needs more power than can be practically packed into a smaller chassis. At the desk you're better off using external IO anyway (which is why I'd recommend a Latitude; the docking station makes un/connecting it all so much easier), so the built in screen size doesn't really matter. On the go, a smaller laptop is easier to carry and can be used in places where a 17" behemoth can't, eg the tray table in a standard cattleveal class airline seat.
As for general specs go; unless you're doing 3d or OpenCL development, the money spent on the GeForce would give better returns if put into an SSD.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it.

I'm seconding Dan Neely's suggestion to have a look at Latitude instead.
But most important, make sure you have an SSD instead of a normal HDD. It makes a huge difference for Visual Studio.
I'm sitting with a Latitude E7440 and a dual screen docking station, and I'm quite satisfied with it.

I took a look at Dell site. The max SSD for Latitude is 512G. I wish it could be bigger but is still ok if I keep more contents on network.
