On Dell's website it looks pretty decent enough for simple programming and other office-like work. You can spec it how you want and if you're sure on this particular one, I'd get at least the i5 with 8GB of RAM. Anything less might run slower than you'd like.

I do plan on getting at least 8gigs of RAM but I’m tired of dealing with horrible panels/screens.

Well it looks like a standard 60Hz panel, couldn't find much info on exactly who makes it or specifics like color accuracy, but Dell usually has decent panels overall from what I hear.

Where are you located and how much can you spend? Afaik that laptop has a crappy 1366x768 TN screen that absolutely sucks.

I’m in Puerto Rico and I have about $1,000 given by the government to spend on select computers.

You can do a lot better than that on a $1000 budget...

 

Here's a Dell XPS 13 with a 6-core, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and a really nice display. Just over $1000

Version of this with a quad-core and 8GB RAM is $130 cheaper.
