Looking for a starter computer that would last me don't need it for college and I mainly want it for jumping into raspery pi and arduino i want to start learning code i haven't bought a computer since 2008 so not sure what to get. I've tried watching as many tech tips from Linus on my phone as I can to familiarize my self with the newer technology. Anyways I've come across the attached laptop it's an hp 15t with core i7 7500u procecer 12gb of ram and 2 Gb Graphics card is this too much for what I need? 

 

s card. My question is

It's nice already though (although dunno if overkill, depends of your usage) if you just want for code, and actually laptop with i7, 12 GB RAM and touchscreen for 700 bucks?

 

Dang should wait for it.

 

Or you could do like mine. Got a i5-7200U and 8 GB of RAM and it's more than enough for my needs for video editing.

So is that a good deal? I also plan on streaming to my tv with it. I've seen a few other for 550 when I search for laptops with i7s 12gb ram and 1tb storage. But haven't found any with the graphics card.

I think it's a (really) good deal. You could even oo a nice gaming on that laptop either.

If the laptop got some add-on slot like the M.2 SSD slot, get use of it. Or as I see, that's a DVD that if you won't use, you can use HDD caddy (if it fits, depends of the size either) and use SSD with it, if you want to.

 

And for the stream to the TV, what will you use to stream? HDMI? Or something else?

I got an email on this one too now I can't decide.
