Dev Gear

The best developer laptop money can buy right now. The M4 Pro chip handles everything — compiling, VMs, video calls — with all-day battery life.

My daily driver. The battery alone makes it worth it for any engineer who moves around.

Best Windows laptop for developers. OLED display, solid build quality, and plenty of RAM and storage options.

Best pick if you need Windows. The OLED display is stunning for long coding sessions.

Legendary keyboard, feather-light, enterprise-grade durability. The best laptop for engineers who travel constantly.

If portability and keyboard feel are your priorities, nothing beats a ThinkPad.

75% wireless mechanical keyboard with hot-swap switches. Works seamlessly on Mac and Windows with great build quality.

The mechanical keyboard I recommend to everyone starting out. Great value, great feel.

The endgame keyboard for many developers. Topre switches, whisper-quiet, compact layout built to last decades.

Expensive but worth it if you type all day. The layout takes a week to adjust to — then you never go back.

Low-profile wireless keyboard with smart illumination. Pairs with up to 3 devices simultaneously.

Best non-mechanical option. Quiet, comfortable, and works across Mac, Windows, and iPad without missing a beat.

27-inch 4K IPS panel with USB-C connectivity. Crisp text rendering makes a real difference reading code for hours.

4K matters for side-by-side windows. USB-C means one cable connects your laptop, charges it, and drives the display.

Smooth, sturdy monitor arm that frees up desk space and lets you dial in the perfect screen position.

One of the best desk upgrades. Takes 10 minutes to set up and you'll wonder how you lived without it.

Single-cable docking for laptop users. HDMI 4K, USB-A, SD card, ethernet, and USB-C passthrough in one unit.

Essential if you run a MacBook. One cable in, everything connected. Saved my desk from cable chaos.
