Is ASUS UX303LB good for programming?

[m-mag]

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for a laptop to buy; I will be developing on it, which means I'll be using Android Studio, Visual Studio, web development tools as well as I may be using Virtual Machines.

I already have a desktop that I can develop on, but I'll be needing this one to showcase what I developed to other members of my team (we're starting a project), developing in a cafe or something.

So, the UX303LB seemed elegant to me.

Here are the specs for it. This is the only version available in the market here (Egypt):

- CPU: i5 5200U
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU 940m
- OS: Windows 8.1
- Display: 13.3" FHD
- Storage: 1TB + 24GB SSD

Please ask me if you need more clarifications to help me out.

Thanks for your time!

It will get the job done is visual studios based on the time I have spent programming. I would get it.

You mean I'll be comfortable using it if I'd be programming on VS or doing Android development on Android studio or doing web development (PHP/RoR)?

I already have a desktop if it matters.

Thanks
