Solved! Laptop for programming

[RadiKing222]

Hello! I want to purchase laptop that will be used mainly for programming. I have really low budget, and this one caught my eye:

Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15IBR

Intel Pentium N3710 ( 4 cores 1.6 - 2.56 GHz)
Intel HD Graphics 405
8GB DDR3
256GB SSD

Could this work out? Will those 256GB only be enough?

8 gbs is a minimum this days

the ssd makes faster the boot and shutdown proces, this is great for laptops, but before ssds, we all used hard disks only, so it is not the end of the world

if you buy a laptop that is user serviceable, you can buy it with a hard disk and later add a ssd, this way you can lower prices a bit and expand the machine later

-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 ( 4 GB)
-8GB DDR4
-1TB HDD

-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 4 GB
-8GB DDR4
-1TB HDD


Dell Inspiron 5559:

-Intel Core i7-6500U ( 2 cores -2.50 - 3.10 GHz)
-AMD Radeon R5 M335 4 GB

don't buy the u series

those are slow and 2 cores only

the first or the second of the list looks great
