Can anyone recommend a moderate laptop for about 400-500$. I am a student so budget is tight.
I just need to learn docker, kubernetes, devops etc

The 4-Core/8 Thread Acer Aspire VX15 is a great laptop but the Acer Predator Helios 300 (released in June, 2018) sports an Intel 6-Core/12 Thread i7-8750H and other improvements for the same price.

I have had great results with a couple different HP Elite Book i7 laptops running EXSI 6.5. One is a 8570w with 8 gigs of ram.Also i have used the smaller 8530 and 8560w. all run fantastic! The trick is finding supported chipsets. The use of EXSI is optional, there are plenty of options out there like Xen, Hyper-V etc. If you are not building a critical server you can use alot of other laptops if you go with Xen. You still need to stick to as much ram as you can. bare min. is 4 gigs, Shoot for 8 Gigs being a minimum. The beautiful thing about using monster laptops, it cuts down on loud 4U racks running in my office:)

4 Laptops running EXSI
14 VMs
2 Labs
1 Zoneminder VM for sec. Cams 🙂

I would like to share the laptop that I bought.
I have a ASUS ZenBook UX430UA-DH74.
I can run 6 VM without problem.
The laptop is light and the size is perfect: 13,3 inch.
The warranty is awesome 1 years drop, spill and other stuff like that.
I am a student, logically I do not want to have one more bag to bring a big laptop. This laptop is the size of a macbook pro (2013),
