vickzdvipe:

the model and specs' are on the thread already. And for the price range, it's no longer available in the market(that is the brand new one) I got mine as a fairly used laptop for N57500

OK. Thanks.

directonpc:
What's your budget? If you want start with web development (php/node.js/general javascript). A regular laptop with 4gb RAM and minimum of Intel pentium(R) process will be more than ok.

Avoid Amd processors. Even if it's QBASIC you intend to learn.

hey I have a gaming PC that runs beautifully well with AMD so what's ur grudge

directonpc:
YES you can. Make sure it's not the Amd edition. Check it to see if there is intel logo on it.

Please tell me what's wrong with AMD ooo
or are u acting based on past experiences
don't forget that processors are being improved
daily

AMD handles video processing and gaming far better than Intel. But when you plan to do less of those things and more of non video processing jobs go for Intel.

Even Intel celeron is a bad processor for serious programing. Same as the Intel atom found on mini laptops and windows tablets.

Last last you can risk ur money believing that AMD has made so much improvements in 2017.

Intel just has a larger scope of s than AMD

hp 15 not a good laptop. don't waste your money buying it. I am an engineer and I can tell you that there are fake hp15 in the market. even if you are buying it, make sure you go with someone who knows computer hardware very well. but I will never recommend hp 15 for anybody.

I wanna start programming next year and I want to know the laptop I will get coz I just realize that not all laptops can do programming.
Also tell me the cost

My dear buy a durable and good laptop that you wont think of changing in like 2 years to come.

Core I3 4gb ram(2gb minimum) 500Gb storage space.
Model: Any(I advise you buy Dell).

This thread opened my eyes a lot on the kind of advise people throw around on nairaland.

People are saying things like 4GB ram, Core I3 and all the things but the guy just wants to start and I am sure most of these people saying all these use systems with less than 2GB ram and lower specs PCs.

Why scare people for nothing.

The guy just want to start and even android studio or visual studio can run on a 1GB intel core 2 duo U which he can get for as low as 30k at Computer Village.

Stop scaring inexperienced people here guys!!

Hello sir..I want to start python programming language...which good fairly used laptop should I buy?

you have more than what you need.

It is not about computers but your dedication to learn...

Save money for data to and learn from as much youtube videos as you can.

Youtube videos makes all the difference!

Please don't do this to this guy. Yes all laptops can be used to write a program but not all laptops will give you the peace of mind you want, coupled with the hard work of writing codes.

I don't know too many cuz I don't sell laptops but I use an hp with 12gb ram and 2 terabytes storage. It's a machine and it has never blinked. If you have a fat budget, go for something heavy like that. You will enjoy learning programming that way.

What about Dell laptop with the following specs;.
4gig RAM,500g HDD,4th Gen,1.60GHz,corei5 4200U..

That's good. For a start, but keep in mind that the more in depth you go into programming, the more softwares you will need to install and the more heavy your pc becomes so be ready to upgrade when you start making money.
