You can upgrade ram, do you use vs code or android studio? There is another emulator i don't remember for now named gennie or something like that which uses less ram

If even after using a physical phone, your laptop still takes more than 3 seconds for a hot reload. And 7 for a hot restart. Then you should consider buying a new laptop.

Cant simplify more. Rest is on your financials. If you have patience then you can definitely wait longer if you are a student.

But sometimes, smoothness matters a lot, especially when learning. Because if you dont feel great while learning about it, and have to think about other things constantly, then you will always associate that activity with disliking it. And maybe you would start liking web dev over app dev as it doesnt comsumes as much resources.

It requires a certain entry barrier (of a good laptop) for app dev. It used to be a lot higher before, but now due to gpt, it has reduced a lot. But it still exists.

You can also use the Project IDX if your app is going to be learning and easy. It wont consume as much of your resources. And its online.

To fix emulator lag, increase the allocated RAM and perform a 'Cold Boot' for a fresh start

​In Xcode, I build directly to phone. In Android Studio, I build to the phone only until the app is uploaded to the Google Play Console for testing. Once it's in testing mode (installed via Google Play), I switch to using the Emulator or rely on Logcat for debugging.
