I think is time for me to get a second notebook as this one no longer fits my needs. I don't like desktops, as I prefer to be mobile whenever I want.
I tried to run Android Studio with Android Virtual Device, and it freeze (those Google apps are stealing hardware souls too). My current notebook (HP Envy 17.3") is from 2012, 16GB RAM, 1 GB video card, SSD, i7.
I've put my eyes on HP ZBook Fury 17 G7 ($9589.36 reduced from $14102.00). A lot of money for a notebook, but with these specs, even a desktop will be expensive. I won't use it just for programming and other computing stuff, but also for AutoCAD and some video processing.
ZBook Fury 17 G7 with Intel® Core™ i9-10885H vPro™ processor (2.4 GHz, up to 5.3 GHz with Turbo Boost, 16 MB cache, 8 core) + Intel® UHD Graphics + WWAN available (26F45AV)
No Adobe Software
ENERGY STAR Qualified Configuration
Intel® AX201 Wi-Fi 6 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5 Combo, vPro

NVIDIA® Quadro® RTX 5000 (16 GB GDDR6 dedicated)
128 GB (4x32 GB) DDR4 2666
2 TB PCIe NVMe TLC SSD
2 TB PCIe NVMe TLC 2nd SSD
2 TB PCIe NVMe TLC 3rd SSD
2 TB PCIe NVMe TLC 4th SSD
Dual Point Backlit spill-resistant Premium Keyboard
Near Field Communication (NFC)
Intel® XMM 7360 LTE-Advanced Mobile Broadband (Cat 9)
No Service Provider
Fingerprint Reader
200 Watt Smart PFC Slim AC Adapter
C13 1.0m Premium Power Cord
8 Cell 94 WHr Long Life Battery
M.2 Carrier Cage
Planning to get it by February with a Logitech Craft keyboard and a Samsung LC43J890DKUXEN 43" Curved Ultra Wide LED Monitor as I need more workspace on the screen (lots of code lines). I'll post pics with the setup when the "new office" is done as I plan to make a wooden desk myself this winter as I have all tools and materials required, something similar to this one, but much bigger (H = 750 mm, L = 2000 mm, W = 700 mm), to fit two 17.3" notebooks and a monitor + something else under it - printer, NAS, as this one is almost half of what I want.
Thoughts on setup?
