(budged) laptop for programming student

[BlackWorm]

hey, 

 

i'm looking for a decent laptop to take with me to school. I'm using the laptop only, and only for:

 

-  Programming (html, css, js, php, python and a little bit of c#)

- The only programs it sould run decent (fast loading/switching between apps) are: sublime text, Jetbrain, Visual Studio Code and sometimes a Vmware to test some things on a virtual windows 10 environment)

- VLC to watch my series/movies on

- browse the web

- Been able to handle all this, at a minimum since i will only use this laptop at school at my lessons and at exams (Got my main desktop at home to work on)

 

Since i am a simple student money does not come easy, so i'm looking for something as low as possible (since i still got my powerful main desktop at home where i work the most on)

I don't know so much about computer hardware, so i have no idea at what i sould be looking, I'm hoping you can help me out a little bit.

 

Edit:

 

Budged would be a max of 900 euro, but would prefer to go cheaper of course.
I'm also from Belgium, Europe.

Can't do much without a budget - what ballpark money wise are you looking at, and where are you located?

used thonkpad

 

great keyboard or so ive heard.. upgrade that i5 to a quad core, upgrade the ram on the cheap, buy a ssd for cheap too

 

 

im using what is the equivalent of a thinkpad t60's cheaper thing (ideapad? lenovo 3000 n100) and it has a really good keyboard

Budget? Any hardware requirements? (eg ports selection, display, CPU & GPU etc)

[GoldenLag]

Now i would say a LG Gram or any ultrabook since i assume you want something lightweight.

 

Since you didnt mention any budget, it is hard yo give a good choice.

 

Maybe an Huawei Matebook X. Youll get a tall 3:2 display for productivity. Watch out for what processor kt comes with. I believe the i-5 variant has a 6000 series intel cpu. Other than that i dont know. 

 

Huawei om sale amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071VYDPF8/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1516186003&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=matebook+x&dpPl=1&dpID=41aJb-nVIQL&ref=plSrch

Hey,

 

i updated the post with my location and a budged:

Budged would be a max of 900 euro, but would prefer to go cheaper of course.
I'm also from Belgium, Europe.

 

As for ports, 2x USB and ethernet port is a must. Everything extra is nice
