And from where do you come from?

Pizza and Beer.
Otherwise, why bother coming from anywhere?

Yes, I expected this sharp and clear thinking. From where except the United States do the citizens of the United States come from. We all know they grew out of there.
Try more pizza and less beer

It was probably eaten for the same reason that Ashkenazi Jews eat Gefilte fish:
- It was cheap
- It was nutritious
It is a mystery to me why anyone who can afford better would eat blood pudding (or Gefilte fish, for that matter).

I could complain here about how annoying I find some of people who feel the need to call me every day to discuss their problems...or sometimes just out of boredom. 
It's all too common anymore that I'm making headway on a bit of code, or debugging, and get interrupted by a someone who is just bored and needs to be entertained. Mostly these days, my coding gets done in 15-20 minute bursts between phone calls.

Hi all,
At the end of this year (October +/-) I plan to buy a Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 3.
I will mainly use Visual Studio, office, some robot programming IDEs with 3D robot representations, some virtual machines and not much more...
RAM question
Given currently the SSD disks are very fast, and seeing the default RAM amount in thinkpads is 16GB I was doubting if it was worth or not to upgrade it to 32 or even 64.
DISPLAY question
4K or FHD?
It will have a big impact in battery life and maybe in a 15" display it's not worth it... not sure of that.
In any case IPS not OLED, I don't want the burn effect and I hate the yellow whites in phones, I don't want them in my laptop.
THUNDERBOLT DOCK STATION question
Years ago I got a USB dock station from Lenovo; it was a USB2.0 dock station. the experience was terrible, dragging a window stuttered a lot...
Now I have a mechanical dock station which works perfectly and that connects my laptop to a set of USB loudspeakers, keyboard, mouse, 2 24" displays using Display Port, a Web cam, power and LAN.
That mechanical dock won't be compatible with any new Thinkpad model, so I won't be able to use it.
I'm planning to get the best thunderbolt 3 dock station they offer at the time (currently this one[^]) anyone has experience with this dock station? Does it work smoothly?
Thank you all for your hints and comments!

How many tabs in Chrome are you going to have open at the same time?

Then you need 32GB! 
In all seriousness, 16GB is good. I never had any issues with 16GB on my dev machine, but there was a project that I was working on that made me want more, so I threw another 16Gig at it because it was so cheap.
I'd probably throw 32GB in a machine today without even thinking about it just because I build a new machine about every 7 years and Windows and what I'm doing changes over time and the requirements just seem to creep up all the time.

I plan to use that laptop for 5 years, In fact, I'll get the extended total warranty that will cover battery, accidental damage... so the same day the warranty ends I will get a new one.
Sounds good to go for at least 32GB...

I can suggest you HP Elite Book (resp. one of the successors).
Take at least 32GB RAM it does not cost that much more.
Have currently a Elite Book 8770w, about ten years old
Intel Core i7
2.7 GHz
8GB RAM
64 Bit
128GB SSD
17" screen
And it is still very powerfull!

I've had Fujitsu-siemens, HP, IBM and now Lenovo.
Fujitsu-Siemens was terrible: since the very beginning the battery was dead, an old t41p IBM laptop that was amazing at that time (It still works), some HP laptops that always ended failing in the electrical area (elitebook or not), and lately I've got Lenovo... I used a T440s and my current one is a T460s which is very nice, but warranty will end soon and I decided to jump from the T line to the X1 extreme one, which seems to be the top notch in Lenovo series... I could get a P1, but I don't need the 3D design software compatible graphics card.
In one virtual machine I have a programming software that takes 2 minutes to load with my current laptop... I really want/need to improve this.

Again, I have my HP since _10_ years and it still performs very much even with VS

Sure all the big brands can make good things... I've just been unlucky with 4 HP laptops... and I can tell you I take extreme care with my tools so it was clearly something wrong with the device...
If my memory is not failing me it was a 8300w or something like that... an elitebook too... which one day decided not to turn on anymore. Had to recover all data from the HDD from another laptop.
Their technical support is nice though.

I second this. My workplace supplied the EliteBook 1050 G1.
i7-8750
16G RAM
15.6" screen
GeForce GTX 1050
Easily the nicest/stable laptop I've had, and the build quality is great.
|
|

|

Yep, the build quality is also very good, I forgot that aspect . My machine has been with me all over the world for ten years and it was very rough now and then and still is alive.

I use visual studio extensively, often with three instances open plus a browser. 16GB has been adequate for me but if you can afford it 32 would probably be good to have.
As for the display, I would avoid 4K in a laptop. The pixel density just gets too high and you might finding yourself using large fonts. For me, since I use the laptop so extensively, I insist on a 17-inch display - 43cm.
I went for a gaming laptop. It has a 2070Q video card in it, 17-inch display and a good amount of storage (16GB RAM, 512MB SSD, 1TB HD). Best of all, it weighs about five pounds or 2.3kg. It's power brick weighs more than it does. I highly recommend this configuration. It is an MSI GL75 but other companies have similar products. I really like this one.
