Hello everyone. I am a student and I am looking to buy a new laptop. I currently have a desktop with the following specs- Intel Pentium dual core processor with 2gb of RAM. The clock rate is 3Ghz and I have a storage space of 500gb out of which more than 300gb is unoccupied.
I mainly use it for programming using c, c++ and java. I also use visual studio for web development using asp.net. I don’t play games that much. Do I need a laptop that has an i3 or i5 processor? Would AMD’s processors ( like the a8 or a6 quad core ) be fine ? They are a bit cheaper compared to Intel’s. My budget is 500 USD. Please suggest me a good laptop for my specific needs. Also tell me how are Intel’s celeron processors and whether I should consider them. Thanks.
