The best computers for programming



One of the most common mistakes made by new programmers is to think that they need a high-end laptop to meet their needs. But this is not the case.


But what is a programming computer?

A programming laptop is a computer designed not to be slowed down by constant code testing, with impressive processors and RAM.


Overall, programming laptops focus on a few main components:

  • Processors

  • RAM

  • Keyboard

  • Storage speed

Also, the brand of the laptop, if these four elements are present in a computer, there is a good chance that it will perform well.
