Hello,

be sure to have a minimum of performances to be able to build QGIS in a reasonable amount of time. I tried to do it on my light Lenovo E145 on the train and it takes more than 1 hour to build QGIS from scratch (perhaps 2 hours with all the cores). On my desktop computer, the amount of time to do the same thing is 9 minutes (core i7-something with 8GB of RAM) !

Screen size is also important. I am able to use QGIS on a 11" wide screen for dev but I can only deal with basic use cases where there are not too much to do (try to use Processing with the attribute table opened and the expression dialog box at the same time). Besides, working on a small screen leads to fix the too large dialog boxes bugs ! A 13" would definitely be better than 11".

Cheers !

As in develop while on public transit. :)

Anyone using/developing Qgis on the bus? I've previously used a 13"
laptop (many years ago), and looking to buy something similar. I want
to be able to use it on the bus (if possible). Need a decent keyboard
and a good mouse replacement(e.g. trackpad). Usability more important
than performance. Budget around 1000 euro. Not sure what size is a
good fit.

Or is it not advisable at all?

/Magnus
