MacBook or Notebook for programming?

Question

Hi guys! I'm new at programming and I am now studying JavaScript, CSS and HTML. Possibly later on I start studying React Native, but I don't see me programming for MacOS or IPhone (natively).
So, here is the question : I need a notebook, good enough for at least 5 years. Should I buy an MacBook Air or an notebook (I saw this ASUS with almost the same price as the MacBook air)
CPU ： Core i7-8750H
Memory ： 16GB
Graphics ： NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (NVIDIA Optimus Technology)
Storage： SSD128GB+HDD1TB
Monitor Size ： 15.6 wide 1920 x 1080

Also, I see that the MacBook's monitor size is only 13 inches, which I believe is too small (I'm not planning on buying an 2nd monitor and I won't be taking the PC outside, so the weight and screen size won't be a matter)

Answer 1

Cleber Ogata, it depends on how are you going to use it.
If you want one just for programming: then you can just pick up any laptop you like and it will hardly make any difference (just like WhyFry said)

If you are a casual gammer/hardcore gammer, then just go for a windows machine with good graphics card

If you are looking for portability with large enough battery life then any ultrabook/MacBook will work perfectly for you(preffer the one with higher resolution and less screen size(preferably 13 inch) as it will make your laptop more compact and light

Answer 2

thanks for the answers!
I'm not a gamer, but I've heard that Android Studio works faster with a graphic card, that's why I'm thinking about that PC.
13 inch isn't too small?
