DH and I have one laptop at home, which we share. However, it's getting old and slowing down, and we really need a new one. We're probably only going to get one laptop.
For me, my primary concerns are lightweight/portable, quick Internet speeds, and good battery life. I don't need a ton of programs or a lot of memory. Most of my documents are stored on Google Drive, pictures and videos on Google Photos.
My husband, as I've written in other threads, wants to become a computer programmer. I'm assuming that for that kind of work and learning, he would need a more powerful laptop. He also likes to download and play computer games. Between programming and gaming, he would need a larger screen and more RAM.
Obviously, some of our needs are contradictory. If we would buy only one laptop, what would you recommend?
If we were going to buy two laptops, which one would you recommend for each of us, and why? (I'm much more cost-conscious for my laptop than his, since he would need a good one.)

You don't need a particularly powerful computer for programming. Most programs you write are very light weight compared to heavy applications you'll normally run like computer games or microsoft word. If anything, he might consider getting a laptop with a Linux based operating system, rather than a Windows or Mac machine, but it's not critical. If gaming is important to him, optimize for that.
