Good programmers laptop under $600 dollars?

[zarkte]

Hi, I'm looking for a good laptop under $600, I'd like to know the specs I need, I'm going to study software programming.

BTW, I'm from Mexico, so give me te specs I would need, please

Depends on the software. i7, 8gb ram, discrete graphics card.

That will depend entirely on the programs you are thinking of making. I would assume that most of the programs will be cpu intensive rather than gpu intensive. This means that as a minimum an i5 m cpu, 8 gigs of ram, igpu is fine.

What about an AMD A6 or A8?

Not as good as an i7 for CPU power. But better than an i7 if you only wanted integrated graphics.

well, as i said, i'm from mexico, and this stuf is expensive here 🙁 so best options here are a few A6/A8 and a couple of i5

Then you won't be getting an ideal programmers laptop. Just get the best you can afford.

That is ok for low end programming. It really depends on what kind of programs you make and what software you are using.
