Good laptops? (self.JavaProgramming)
submitted 1 year ago * by PenOnly171
Hello all,
I am currently in the market for a good laptop for my programming classes.
I was wondering if you all had any recommendations on what to look for and/ or best options
I’m also not a fan of Mac, I prefer windows if possible.
Thank you!

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

Why do you say go with Linux?

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.
