With the holiday season coming up I’d like to give some helpful buying information to the Apex Coding Academy community which laptops (and other gear) are most popular with developers. Today we’re going to take a look at the highest selling laptops among programmers over the the past several months (as ranked by Amazon).

As you’ll see the top spots are dominated by Apple and Razer (both are powerhouse work horses who dominate this class of laptops).

At the top of this list we see a few contenders from various brands. I’ll also share another list later this week of the top inexpensive starter laptops for programming.

Note: Amazon currently has some great specials at the moment on laptops and gear as part of the holiday promotions.

10. LG Gram 17" IPS WQXGA (2560 x 1600) Intel 10th Gen Core i7 1065G7 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (512GB x2), 17 Hour Battery, Thunderbolt 3–17Z90N (2020)
