Hi, I need a little help looking for a cheap programming laptop with the following requirements.

 

1. It needs to be something light. I want something that I could take on the go without carrying a brick.

2. As it says above, it needs to be "cheaper". I'm looking for something around $300 to $400 range, anything a littler bit more or cheaper is accepted.

3. With regards to cpu and gpu power, I am in no need of a dedicated gpu. The processor, I would prefer a quad core, but a dual core will suffice. Clock speed should be 2.0 Ghz or above.

4. When it comes to ram I'm not planning on doing any android development on it, so there doesn't need to be a lot. 4 gb will suffice, 8 is preffered, 16 would be great.

 

I know it seems kind of weird to ask people on a forum for this kind of thing instead of just doing some research myself, but who knows. Someone could read this and know of a laptop off of the top of there head.

 

Thanks

I kinda halfway point you at a pine book or a netbook or something.  Text editors are lightweight even for phones.  Heck you could code on a palm pilot.

 

for this one I’d say what you like in a screen and a keyboard is everything.  Cpu just doesn’t matter much.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
