Is this laptop sufficient for programming?
Hey, I'm starting to study business informatics and need a laptop because I only have one PC.
Is the laptop sufficient? I have a €2,000 PC at home, so I don't want to spend that much on a laptop. x)
I mean, it has 16gb of RAM and you don't program that crazy stuff in this course anyway, I guess, where you need crazy computing power.
Java, Python, C++, C
Take something. Everything under an Intel i.. or Ryzen 3/5 is bullshit, that’s not fun. Believe me.
You can also look around the used market and then take a model from the last 3 years. Just have to look for the battery life.
If 300€ are your budget limit, then I would take a well-used ThinkPad instead.
You will not only get more performance for your money, but also a much better processed device.
ok, the Hp is probably pure plastic
I could imagine that you might like a ThinkPad X13S very well, the first generation of the X13S also fits well with your budget.

thank you 🙂
So at least the 2. should be good for pure programming. The 1st laptop has only two cores, which is already very close.
But I generally agree with Krabat693’s opinion
Well, it’s a low budget.
But programming for simple things doesn’t take much power.
You can try it out and see if everything is running smoothly when you have Word, a browser and the IDE of your choice.
What about him? Probably not much better, huh?

A Raspberry Pi is enough for that. I’ve used it before.
