I have the opportunity to go to Florida, USA this November and I'll be shopping for a new laptop. Currently I don't have one, only the one that my work gave me, because my old laptop the processor fried away.
I'm from Uruguay, a small country in South America, and the last ten years I will say all the computers that are coming here are last year refurbished/renew or the really expensive ones, and at least cost double that on the US.
So one of my quest in this trip is to buy a new laptop computer with a budget of around 500U$S but after reading a lot of information I have a lot of questions about AMD vs Intel for Linux, are the new Intel xe graphics good enough, and well supported ? Or will be better an AMD Ryzen ?
It's been a while since I bought a laptop or computer, I do coding for work but all the heavy task I do it on a server and the heaviest thing I run is PHPStorm and Chromium with Figma (The new photoshop). Sometimes I compile c++ stuff but is always for hobby so it don't have to be lighting fast. And for games, I tend to play old games and emulation of old systems, so I don't need a really powerful machine.
Any advice or suggestions are welcome!
Regards
