What of Web design/development and other ICT packages, can a 4GB Ram laptop handle that also?

Yes it should

Well if you intend to use emulators like the android studio emulator you might have little issues

Most essential
core i5+(CPU processor)
64 bit Os
8GB RAM +
256GB SSD
1TB Harddrive space

That spec is good but here is what I posted in another thread.

Desyner:
Let me give you a secret that has tormented and fustrated the IT career of many. When buying a computer the most influential spec is the cache size. The cache is always within the processor and thus part of the processor spec. Google the processor of your choice computer and check its cache size. Low cache size is around 512 KB and high ones for most personal computers are about 6 MB.
If you get a processor with cache size of 2-3MB, 4-6 GB RAM is ok.
I once saw a 6MB cache laptop(DDR2) that boots Windows 7 like Television.

Watch out for cache. Some core - i5 have low cache.

Whats the exact processor model please ? Just paste it here.
For example mine is core i5-2450 [notice the "-2450"] and has 3mb cache.

It's actually
L2- 256k
L2- 3mb

Funny people sha.

U dont need a high end computer to code.
I code php/javascript from my hp mini laptop and the results are awesome.
i even did some cool node.js stuff with it some weeks ago.Unless u need to use android studio, go for a laptop with large screen (android studio requires large screen).

All these core i3,i4...i9 effizy is starting to piss me off.
