What computer(laptop) do you recommend me for programming?

Question

I am getting started in the programming world and I do not know which are the qualities that the computer has to have

Answer 1

For Programming you do not need very costly laptops. Even Pentium with 4 GB of ram will work great. Tell me about your budget and I can suggest you some good options.

Answer 2

If you are looking for a good programming future, you would need to buy a performance computer.

Then again, there is the question on laptop or desktop, which is for you to decide.

if you give more info on your situation budget, etc, then maybe a better answer is possible.

Answer 3

you need to look at the following:

#processor clock speed - 2.4GHz is high on laptops, and 3.0GHz is good for faster desktops.

#hard disk type - Solid state drive(ssd) is a very fast one compared to normal HDDs. check YouTube for speed comparison. but then again look at your budget too.

#the rest are up to you.

I would prefer an Intel i7 or i5 along with other specs if I were going to buy a PC/laptop

Answer 4

I preffer laptop

Answer 5

maybe later I buy a desktop

Answer 6

yeah then,

performance:
-macbook, for good budget person. And if u don't mind using Mac OS. (windows will need to be run in separate method)
-HP Envy, for low budget and performance/specs + looks are par with macbook.
-Lenovo, performance (dark style tho) :p

Notebook: (make sure a cooler is there inside the laptop)
-Lenovo notebooks are good for average budget person.
-HP pavilion, average budget
-Acer, only If you are looking for low budget laptops.

Netbook:
Make Sure not to buy netbook if you want to do programming.

If you want more help, just give your budget range.

Answer 7

what do you think about the Omen laptop and the Dell's laptop?

By the way, some people tell me that the macbooks doesn't work for programming. Thanks for the help

Answer 8

yeah omen is a great choice really.

and about dell, I personally don't prefer dell's "laptops" because after two three years, the errors start creeping up that we went crazy reparing them...

iam talking about 3-5 different dell laptops bought from different parts of the world..

Answer 9

@zameel haneefa what do you think about the Hp pavilion?

Answer 10

but the one with intel core i7 6700HQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB, 4GB G

Answer 11

HP pavilion is good too. its a model just below envy.

It will be ok for programming too.

the specs u said are also enough for getting good performance. are they of a pavilion? then I would suggest going for envy with the same specs.

also, getting 16gb ram will be cooler in high level simulation situations. (if u r looking forward to do huge programming in future)

my opinions are based on seeing the choices made by some friends and cousins who own their own software development companies.

Answer 12

okay, it's necessary a grafic card in the computer?

Answer 13

Not at all. But only if you are planing on heavy gaming. And if u need average gaming, then 2GB graphics would be more than enough.

and if you are not at all going to the gaming area, then no need of graphics card at all.

update: but still, I wud suggest 2gb graphics coz in case u need to design something in AutoCAD or something of sort to combine with ur project...then graphics is a necessary.

(I personally have 4gb graphics card, which helps me in unity game development learning)

Answer 14

@zameel haneefa my budget is 1350USD, can you suggest me some options?
