Hello nice video, I start programming with asus rog g 531gt. Tim when you share 《TIME MENAGEMENT VIDEO》I see it in your Flutter tutorial series(in first video)
IMO, I think 8GB of RAM should be the minimum and 16GB should be the recommended. I've run into instances where I've encountered out of memory exceptions when I used a machine with 4GB and I wasn't doing anything too crazy. An example if you're running Windows 10: Having Visual Studio, Chrome, and SQL Server Management Studio open. Those apps will definitely give you trouble if you're running on only 4GB of RAM.

Tim is amazing.... My expectations are always exceeded.... I'm sure everyone would agree that Tim has been more than a teacher and a friend.... The remote connection he has with viewers is outstanding.
@@brooksgunn5235 I agree and you shouldn't take this joke as serious. I had luck getting one. While I was studying I had to rent a laptop as I couldn't afford one.
thank you for all the effort you put into this channel. you got me started on python code and i finally just created my own channel. keep up the good work
I would focus on getting a laptop with at least 16 GB of RAM and with NVMe drive (at least 256 GB) plus with good support for virtualization. NVMe drive is a huge advantage when it comes to overall experience and reponsiveness.
I started programming on my old HP laptop. Specs: i3 5th gen, 8GB ram, 1TB HDD, 720p 15inch display. Kinda gets the job done. Takes too long to launch any IDE. RUclips videos lag while in 1080p 60FPS, approx 1hr of battery life, and obviously, no fancy development work. I'm planning to buy the HP Omen 15 with Rizen 5. I feel like it would be a good balance between price and performance. Plus it has a really good screen and minimalist design for a gaming laptop.
I've learned programming on my very old laptop a 2008 model with 2gb of ram core 2 duo processor but still it was more than enough to have a good foundation on programming so if you have a low end pc, relax and keep coding
I just started my CS program and I'm using same spec(2GB ram, intel core 2 duo laptop). I really don't have any trouble as of now but I intend to get a better laptop before this year runs out.
Amazing video! And it was very helpful for me because this days I am searching to buy a new laptop because my old hp laptop wants upgrade . Your tips helps me a lot because I want to buy something affordable and good for coding at the same time! Also I want to say that is very important to have 8gb of ram because if you want to keep this laptop for a long time, you will surely need it! Awesome job, as all of your videos!
My laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad E585. It has 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6" display. The only thing is the processor. It's a dual-core AMD Ryzen 3 @ 2.5GHz. It's great for learning Full Stack Web Development.
Don't need strong specs for web development Ram and cpu is more used in app development and game development majorly when finally you build the app or game.
He is absolutely right about the processor! I tried to lean on a low end dual core all in one but it was painful so I got a used MacBook Pro 2011 13inch i7 16gb ram 1tb ssd and it is AMAZING for the price i paid. I am typing this from it. However, I decided to get into machine learning so I got a desktop with the ryzen 7 2700X and RTX 2060 Super. Great machines.
I got a Dell Inspiron 5051 for $724 12GB of RAM 512 GB PCIe SSD (Integrated graphics runs Minecraft at 35% usage) Fingerprint scanner Type C and 2 3.0 ports 15" IPS monitor. 10th gen i5 4 core 8 thread.
Helpful advice if you're going for Lenovo: (mine is Y5070) - Don't drop them, they are made of paper (learned that the hard way) - If you are gaming on them on Linux seriously consider a way to cool them down because I melted mine playing Skyrim. XD Now I have no GPU but I don't regret anything XD It died playing Skyrim so it died a hero! PS: I have a 10 years old VAIO laptop and the keyboard on that is just amazing. Haven't used a nicer keyboard to this date. Disclaimer: I don't know about the new Lenovos and I'm just sharing my experience. If you are more careful than me they are good value for money though!
8 gb ? I m a beginner who's just having his first internship ! For this first experience I recently had an elastic search search server running + kibana server + visual code + another tool to run the api specific to the company I m working for + postman + few chrome tabs ... Costs me 16 gb !!
First off thanks for the time taken to help others. Noob here...i came across a Dell Vostro i7-1165G7, Nvidia GeForce MX330. Its a great deal i think for a beginners programmers laptop for $350. Will that be an okay machine to begin with?
Yes it is enough to learn on, but if you are willing to get more performance when you learned enough and want to download software and library’s etc. You’re going to want a little bit more out of your computer

This is a good quick guide on choosing laptop. I had Lenovo i3 7020 , 15 in, 256 SSD and 8GB of ram. It works fine and fast for Android studio, Intli J, VS code, Figma, Adobe XD. Tim, it would be awesome if you can make review on affordable monitor for dual monitor too. Cheers
Hello I recently buy a laptop in Boulanger (a store in France) but I think u can get the laptop on amazon too. My Laptop is the Asus fx571 WITH i5-9300H (very good CPU) and GTX 1650 (nice GPU) with a beautiful and confortable keyboard and design NOT NOISY and NOT A HOTPOT after using hours (that very important for me) The seller said the laptop can be use in continue without charging it for 10 hours but U can use just using it for a maximun of 4 hours then U need to charge it . But the advantage is the battery is full after 2 hours so Awesome. I though for 800 Euros ( 945,02 $ ) is a very stuff . Hopefuly that comment help U guys and help Tim as an complement to his video !😂
may i ask, can you remove the battery easily? i always remove my battery when i know i am gonna use it for more than 4 hours. i dont want the battery to deteriorate faster.
@@Kokombads I have Asus ZenBook UX303 for over 5 years now and it still keeps charge for about 4 hours (when it was new it was about 7 hours) so I'm not sure if removing battery is worth your time and effort. Asus got great batteries! :D
Finally someone who says 4 gigs of ram is enough, all I have seen is people shitting about how you can't open a chrome tab in 8 gigs of ram.(which is obliviously very wrong). If you have some money though, I'll suggest buying 8 gigs to have a very comfortable environment.
@@InternetHuman16 I wasn't talking about Android Studio here. Android studio is one of the heaviest IDE's out there. I was talking about what most people generally use, VSC, pycharm, chrome all works lovely in 8 gigs of ram.

Graphics cards make any computer expensive. In a laptop they cannot be as efficient as in a pc on top of that because of the restricted space which leads to cooling problems.When needing them for machine learning, the idea would be to have that calculated with a graphic card which sits inside a pc instead of a laptop. How to hand these calculations over via internet to the pc at home would be a good project. Especially useful for photographing anything with a smart phone in nature like birds, mushrooms, etc, having the graphic card at home calculate what that most likely is.
I have Lenovo ideapad 320, 3 years old. Specs are - 8 GB RAM, USB type C (3.1) Gen 1, i3 6th Gen, 15.6 inch screen. It had Windows 8.1 installed and had 2TB of space (HDD) but it was very slow to be honest. Now I have installed Ubuntu and because my hard disk crashed I have switched to 240 GB SSD and this thing is a beast now 🔥 It is lightning fast! I highly recommend everyone getting a SSD if he/she can afford.
Thank you for a genuinely helpful and practical advice to all the freshers out there. I just got done with my research on all the Desktop / Laptop machines. Got my sister an i5 10th gen + 512 GB NVMe SSD (Acer Aspire 5). I would personally consider an AMD Ryzen 4th gen plus a dedicated GPU (nothing great just fit in a thin & light). Also one thing I noticed is that there is a huge difference in value being offered to consumers in USA vs other countries. I'm from New Delhi, India. And for the same reason I paid 25% premium compared to US market. That HP ENVY you showed sells for Twice the amount here. Thank you for the vid!
Hi Tim, not sure if that topic is worth to record separate video, but.. How is your experience, as a developer, with MacBook? I think about buying MacBook, but my friend told me that there are a lot of environmental problems when trying to set up something (Python, etc.). Could you please tell something more about that? I would use it for stuff other than development as well.
i dont know if is a problem on my machine, but open chrome, npm local host server, laravel localhost server, two windows vscode, mysql workbench and postman, i do need more then 12 gigas for do this, and for me as web developer this is quite the things a need on a normal day. Maybe my OS is getting to much ram but cant do what a do with just 8.
I am left wondering if Canada Gigs are different from US Gigs in the same way that Imperial Gallons are different from US Gallons. Also of note, I would never personally code on a laptop if I wasn't forced to by circumstance(s). Do you have any recommendations for desktop builds? If not, why not?
Happy teacher's day sir...... Teachers' Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers. And, you made me understand a lot of things whether it's tenserflow or python or flutter ..... Or any tech here's the spot I come for ..... Thank you sir for being a guide to me in my journey.....
I'm learning python on my Acer Chromebook 315 using the Linux development environment. I don't really like Windows but have a Predator gaming laptop. I hate Apple products and don't have a bunch of $$$ to put towards getting a new laptop. I've found that for learning and for basic daily use the Chromebook works great. When I got it, it was around $300 from Walmart and that was 2-4 years ago. The Chromebook has surprised me so much I'm thinking about staying with Chromebooks for programming at least until I need to get something better.
I3 -> r3 i5 -> r5 i9 -> r9. But dont look only this on both side. Intel and amd has i/r 9 models, that has same power, than i/r 3. Look for Ghz, cores, threads, and real world tests, like cinebench r20.SFBE

Hi, Tim! In my country, I could only find an IdeaPad Flex 5 with Ryzen 5 and 16gb of RAM. I couldn't find a Ryzen 7 matched with 8gb RAM, which would be great for me as I'm on a budget but would like to have a decent processor for a future proofed machine. The one I found with Ryzen 5 is approx. 910 CAD. Do you think it's much better if I keep looking for a similar machine with Ryzen 7 and 8gb RAM?
What do you think about an ARM processor for programming? I just found a notebook with a 8 cores/threads snapdragon processor at a pretty cheap price, but then again, it's a basic ARM processor, worst than an iPhone's A14 chip... benchmarks...

I started to learn to program on a Acer Aspire 3 with a Pentium 4417U. And pretty soon when I needed a good machine I upgraded to an ASUS TUF A15. But, my starting 8 months I used the Acer Aspire 3.
4GB of ram is minimum only on linux. 8GB of ram on windows gets eaten by bloat alone. U can of course remove this by disabling a whole ton of background processes, but there is no guarantee to stability if you do so. If u want a laptop to run very fast on low spec hardware, install linux on it. I recommend any arch based distro or arch if you are already into linux. Arch isn't that hard to install, in actuality and i recently heard of a small script that does it for you called Archfi.
Not very much, from my expirence you would need some decent graphic card, it's good if you have nvidia and some Intel integrated. I would say 2gb for now are still okay, and 4 would be great
Your own written programs likely won't use that much RAM. Only get it if you have other considerations like heavy video editing, need to start up multiple VMs (for hackers) or you are using your main computer as a web server (which is a bad idea due to other issues like your desktop hdd not having error correction). Otherwise, most normal people can work with 16gb (with extra space at that). If you ultimately can't decide, (and from your question and I assume you have a large budget) get a modular laptop with hotswappable RAM and SSDs/HDDs etc. (likely not a macbook)
@@aammssaamm No need to be so sarcastic, I was giving some use cases in which you'll need to consider such cases. Of course I don't know what he needs, which is why I gave examples for him to be able to understand his requirements. Trolls like you don't help, they just be annoying
-Notepad for code notes 📝. - Atom - Visual Studio (can be overwhelming at first) - Framework for the specific language you prefer to use. Django for python, Spring for Java, Node.js for Javascript, ...etc.
Just bought an iPad and I think you can't do any development on there without any Cloud IDE (even tough XCode should Code, but then you are limited to Swift/Obj.-C). Guess I'll have to buy a Laptop in 2 years :D
Hi, i have a question, using one 16 ram card is equivalent to using two 8 ram card? I want to upgrade my computer but i dont know if buying another 8 ram card would be good.
What I did recently is look for an i7 (10thgen) laptop with a low RAM and only using an HDD then I bought an additional 8GB RAM and a 500GB nvme SSD and installed it myself. I was able to save quite some money. I spent only around $700 including all the upgrades.

Hi Tim, not sure if that topic is worth to record separate video, but.. How is your experience, as a developer, with MacBook? I think about buying MacBook, but my friend told me that there are a lot of environmental problems when trying to set up something (Python, etc.). Could you please tell something more about that?
I would use it for stuff other than development as well.
14:04 what about lenovo x1 nano ? Would you recommend that for programming ?
Definitely not Intel now. Their offering is weak and overpriced compared to Ryzen 4000.
@Jahongir Rakhimjonov no, only 4000 Series Ryzen is better than Intel, that is 4500U, 4700U, 4800U
How about 4700u vs mba m1?
i dont know if is a problem on my machine, but open chrome, npm local host server, laravel localhost server, two windows vscode, mysql workbench and postman, i do need more then 12 gigas for do this, and for me as web developer this is quite the things a need on a normal day. Maybe my OS is getting to much ram but cant do what a do with just 8.
I am left wondering if Canada Gigs are different from US Gigs in the same way that Imperial Gallons are different from US Gallons. Also of note, I would never personally code on a laptop if I wasn't forced to by circumstance(s). Do you have any recommendations for desktop builds? If not, why not?
Can anybody tell me if an i7 6500u processor is enough? I've read on Internet that it's a dual core processor even though its 6th gen.
I updated my windows.
That's it. Everything is fine
It'll ask for another update in two weeks.
I like these type of tech gadget videos a lot.
Happy teacher's day sir......
Teachers' Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers. And, you made me understand a lot of things whether it's tenserflow or python or flutter ..... Or any tech here's the spot I come for ..... Thank you sir for being a guide to me in my journey.....
I'm learning python on my Acer Chromebook 315 using the Linux development environment. I don't really like Windows but have a Predator gaming laptop. I hate Apple products and don't have a bunch of $$$ to put towards getting a new laptop. I've found that for learning and for basic daily use the Chromebook works great. When I got it, it was around $300 from Walmart and that was 2-4 years ago. The Chromebook has surprised me so much I'm thinking about staying with Chromebooks for programming at least until I need to get something better.
8gb ram enough for Mobile dev ( kotlin , react , flutter ) ???
I3 -> r3 i5 -> r5 i9 -> r9. But dont look only this on both side. Intel and amd has i/r 9 models, that has same power, than i/r 3. Look for Ghz, cores, threads, and real world tests, like cinebench r20.SFBE
Hey Tim, Will you make a series teaching how to make agar.io
or paper.io or diep.io or any fps game in Python Day - 11. Like so he can see

Newbie- I started w/ used 2015 MacBook Air from friend @ $250USD. No probs so far but saving $3k USD for stronger machine. All comments + discussion = helpful.thx man appreciate your vids
Hi, Tim! In my country, I could only find an IdeaPad Flex 5 with Ryzen 5 and 16gb of RAM. I couldn't find a Ryzen 7 matched with 8gb RAM, which would be great for me as I'm on a budget but would like to have a decent processor for a future proofed machine. The one I found with Ryzen 5 is approx. 910 CAD. Do you think it's much better if I keep looking for a similar machine with Ryzen 7 and 8gb RAM?
is a macbook 2015 a good laptop to learn to code/software development? would like to know before i spend money for it
Thnx a lot It was a very good recommendation
Nice guide, I'm using HP 15DA-0434TX laptop with upgraded RAM to 8 GB :)
I think I am ur 400000th subscriber
What do you think about an ARM processor for programming? I just found a notebook with a 8 cores/threads snapdragon processor at a pretty cheap price, but then again, it's a basic ARM processor, worst than an iPhone's A14 chip... benchmarks...
I'm just starting to learn front end developing. Can someone tell me, will a Thinkpad with I5 6300u, 8gb ram, 256ssd be enough for me to get a first job as a developer?
I think you'll ne more than fine just don't go under 8gb ram or 256 ssd

Timestamps chapters is not showing at the play bar in this video.If you don't mind please check with that. And thank you all stuffs that are you doing which is help for us
I agree with the guy that said 8GB minumum... Mine is 8GB, quad-core too and it's lagging a lot when multitasking
Ryzen ?
This is Awesome!
I started to learn to program on a Acer Aspire 3 with a Pentium 4417U. And pretty soon when I needed a good machine I upgraded to an ASUS TUF A15. But, my starting 8 months I used the Acer Aspire 3.
Your t-shirt awesome 👍
This was very helpful bro thank u for the tips . Most of the videos are not that informative and straight forward as u
Pleeease continue with the software design series
Maybe make a GUI or a data base to save students and professors info and stuff
I was looking for this
4GB of ram is minimum only on linux. 8GB of ram on windows gets eaten by bloat alone. U can of course remove this by disabling a whole ton of background processes, but there is no guarantee to stability if you do so. If u want a laptop to run very fast on low spec hardware, install linux on it. I recommend any arch based distro or arch if you are already into linux. Arch isn't that hard to install, in actuality and i recently heard of a small script that does it for you called Archfi.
AMD is best for coding? I still have this doubt. Rysen series are better than Intel ?
How is this guy even viable if he does not now basic ryzen CPU
Ive got a HP gaming laptop & an M1 macbook air. Both are the budget options on both sides.
How does everyone feel about the Mac book air? Seems capable and all my current devices are Mac based..
You are soo close to 400k subs 🙂🙃
Can you Upload apps in the playstore with Mac?
good recomendations
I'd like to know what the best options are for coding cross OS? What laptop that runs windows can I code in IOS? And vice versa?
Random question guys, as a programmer (No design, no 3D, no animation, just software dev), should I care about the graphics card?
Not very much, from my expirence you would need some decent graphic card, it's good if you have nvidia and some Intel integrated. I would say 2gb for now are still okay, and 4 would be great
how about 32gb ram laptop.. is it overpower?
No, unless you are planning to replace your machine every one or two years. It also depends on what your program.
Your own written programs likely won't use that much RAM. Only get it if you have other considerations like heavy video editing, need to start up multiple VMs (for hackers) or you are using your main computer as a web server (which is a bad idea due to other issues like your desktop hdd not having error correction). Otherwise, most normal people can work with 16gb (with extra space at that). If you ultimately can't decide, (and from your question and I assume you have a large budget) get a modular laptop with hotswappable RAM and SSDs/HDDs etc. (likely not a macbook)
@@javierheng7502 How do you know what my own programs take? Are you a hacker? 😂 desktop hdd 😂😂😂 No you are not 😂
@@aammssaamm No need to be so sarcastic, I was giving some use cases in which you'll need to consider such cases. Of course I don't know what he needs, which is why I gave examples for him to be able to understand his requirements. Trolls like you don't help, they just be annoying
@@javierheng7502 Oh, boy, you may want to see your therapist.
What are the recommended software you think every programmer should have?? And also what text editor??
I use Atom
-Notepad for code notes 📝.
- Atom
- Visual Studio (can be overwhelming at first)
- Framework for the specific language you prefer to use. Django for python, Spring for Java, Node.js for Javascript, ...etc.
How does one know if they like the keyboard if they can't touch the laptop..
Thanks for the informative video! Do you think 16 GB of RAM along with a quad processor is good enough for running android emulator?
Yes definitely
8:38 For $800 , we get i7 processor, 256 SSD, 4GB Graphic card etc
thats bad actually
I promise you majority of laptops with i7 and eGpu at $800 are sitting microwaves
Thanks let's see why I am able to buy one
Just bought an iPad and I think you can't do any development on there without any Cloud IDE (even tough XCode should Code, but then you are limited to Swift/Obj.-C).
Guess I'll have to buy a Laptop in 2 years :D
why would anyone buy ipad
@@piratennn2720 for school lol?
6cores and 12 threads with 8gb of ram or 4cores and 8threads with 16gb of ram
Hi, i have a question, using one 16 ram card is equivalent to using two 8 ram card?
I want to upgrade my computer but i dont know if buying another 8 ram card would be good.
Using two 8 ram card is a way better than one 16 gigs card because when you use two cards they work in dual channel mode what makes your ram faster
Do we need graphic card
What I did recently is look for an i7 (10thgen) laptop with a low RAM and only using an HDD then I bought an additional 8GB RAM and a 500GB nvme SSD and installed it myself. I was able to save quite some money. I spent only around $700 including all the upgrades.
Which laptop?!
