Laptops for penetration testing and programming:

Literally anything, you will be running a bunch of scripts or tool kits. Modern ideas will run on basically anything too. Pick something light.
Personal recommendation renovation yogas pretty good for the prices

None, build a desktop you fucking retard.

Also, remember that hacking into private networks is a felony and I have my wifi setup to detect intrusions and will report them straight to the feds.

I have a desktop, retard, what do you think I'm posting from? Desktops aren't portable, numbnuts. :^)

Agreed. Laptops are shit. Disposable and proprietary shit.

If you're a journalist or you plan on doing things you probably shouldn't, then I suggest anything that supports Libreboot. Otherwise Lenovo and Dell have some nice machines.

>pen testing

something light and powerful with expansion options OR something cheap and disposable depending on what kind of red teaming

>programming

depends on what kind, but most laptops are really overpowered for writing text and running compilers
