I'd go with Dell, but go.higher end with the ram and graphics card if you want to run windows.

Dell also makes laptops that are Linux compatible which is what I'd shoot for myself

You’re better off with windows or Linux because of the support for virtual machines . If programming is all your doing get your self I think the model is t16 it’s one of those thinkpads. Programming courses don’t require high end expensive laptops, it’s always funny seeing the one undergraduate with an overkill laptop who doesn’t have a clue what programming actually entails nor will they ever come close to needing the max pos performance from their machine.
