1. Processor: The processor is the brain of the laptop and is responsible for running all of the software. For development, you will need a processor that is fast and powerful enough to handle the demands of your work. A good processor for development will be an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor or an AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 processor.
2.RAM: RAM is the memory of the laptop and is used to store data that is currently being used by the processor. For development, you will need a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM. If you are working on large projects or using resource-intensive applications, you may need more RAM.
3.Storage: Storage is used to store your files, programs, and operating system. For development, you will need a laptop with at least 256GB of storage. If you are working on large projects or using resource-intensive applications, you may need more storage.
4.Display: The display is how you will see your work, so it is important to choose a display that is clear and sharp. A good display for development will be at least 13 inches in size and have a resolution of at least 1920×1080 pixels.
5. Battery life: The battery life is how long the laptop can run on a single charge. For development, you will need a laptop with a long battery life so that you can work without having to worry about running out of power. A good battery life for development will be at least 8 hours.
6. Operating system: The operating system is the software that controls the laptop. For development, you will need a laptop with a Linux or macOS operating system. Windows is not a good choice for development because it is not as stable or secure as Linux or macOS.
Things to take in consideration while buying a laptop.
1. Portability: If you plan on taking your laptop with you to work or school, you will need to choose a laptop that is portable. A good laptop for development will be lightweight and have a thin design.
2. Keyboard and trackpad: The keyboard and trackpad are how you will interact with the laptop, so it is important to choose a laptop that has a comfortable keyboard and trackpad. A good keyboard for development will have a good travel distance and tactile feedback. A good trackpad will be large and responsive.
3. Other features: There are a few other features that may be important to you, such as a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader, or a webcam.
I hope this helps!
