I don't know why people keep going for HP in spite of numerous keyboard complaints, screen and battery.

I'm not saying you are using HP but go for a good laptop like Lenovo not those fancy gleaming box of crap.

I'm still using my Zinox laptop bought in 2011, the keyboard is still clear and firm in spite of hard gaming, screen is bright battery has reduced to 1 hour 30mins after 4 years meanwhile my friend's hp is peeling and keyboard is rub off, battery is 2 minutes.

Go for Lenovo or Toshiba or probably Dell,

Someone suddenly remembered a 2014 thread and opened it.

Sell it and buy a corei7

Hi guys, I bought a lappy (new hp) during my final year project some years back. AMB, 256 rom, 2 gig ram etc. This laptop has bn lying waste on my table ever since.

I want to know if I can learn programming with a laptop of the above spec.

If no, pls what spec of laptop is OK for learning programming? I want to learn.

In my opinion as programmer for decades

You need performance which desktop has over laptop, more cpu power and storage
And mobility is also useful depending on your situation.

The role of the software developer today is learning software framework Platforms and using them to develop Apps.

The most useful frame works have more features which means more code, more files to compile, longer time to build the code, so here a desktop and very powerful one with lots of ram will give you access to more advanced latest software frameworks.

The laptop is good as second PC , and can also be useful for development alongside PC, you can even use your laptop as client for testing code running on Desktop.

But if you only have one pc as developer, Desktop is the way to go, especially if you gona work with things like Graphics and games.


At the end of the day best software means more code means more cpu power to build it, and try too get good cooling for the Desktop PC.
This will allow you access to build any software much faster, some of the Unreal Engine gaming framework code can take 30minutes to build, on laptop that will take hours.

Also do yourself a favour and don't try to develop software unless you have 2 screens at least, but more is better 3 is good number.
One to code, one to read documents , and one for spare

Yo[u are very right Sir.

Though I am not a programmer, but I do high computational engineering projects.

My University computational mechanics research lab has some amazing high computing desktop.

One of the desktop had 64 cores and 256 gig of ram. It's is use mainly for computational fluid dynamics research. This guy can work for weeks without stopping.

I can't imagine any laptop in this world have such computational strenght. I always feel ontop of the world when working on this particular work station.

I heard guys working on computational fluid dynamics at airbus, NASA and Boeing have some crazy work stations. I hope to get to that level some days.

HP is good, it depends on your maintenence. Aside battery, which is normal for all laptop brands, I've never had any issues with hp before. Again, it depends on the brand of hp you use, I've used high end hp in the office for programming and it has been sweet....

If i don't use hp, maybe I'd use Sony vaio, or use a MacBook.

Desktop ... If you require lots of CPU power and customisation

Which is berra for programming. Laptop or desktop. Serious programming. Is it advisable to buy a laptop (when you just hobbysizing with d programming thingi). Wats d duration of a laptop under typical usage

If you're done comparing, come make I give you better laptop at low cost
Serious tech dudes go for Lenovo ThinkPads, stay away from crappy HPs, check the link in my signature.

Everyone on Nairaland is a coder. What and what programs do they create? We have many writers and freelancers here without proof of work also. I dey look una side eye. Sha, this is the internet, many of you claim Dangote is your houseboy. Reality proves far otherwise.

okay ooo. Enjoy ooo

I know someone that uses laptop for programming and I feel it’s okay and comfortable. You should also get Oraimo earbuds if you love listening to music.

Ahh Jesus

2014 thread?

If I have a gift card can I buy from amazon from Nigeria?

You can use your card to buy it now your debit card

Differentiate:

Swears bro be like say na this one I go take hold body for today since 2014.

I swear down!

iMac? I think iMac would do the job, but it would be advisable to have a laptop aside so as to continue when Nigeria decides to sing their national anthem (you know what I mean)

Dell or Lenovo
Anything more than these two, just keep your money for Dell �

Do individuals still use desktops as a better option to laptops?

There is cloud technology. With enough cloud storage and processing feed, is there much of a difference, if any, between laptop and desktop?

How much you don make with your sense?

am glad i came across this thread. i just bought my very first laptop intel celeron, 4gb ram. i'm typing this comment with it. please what can i use this little computer for? do not talk about yahoo to me here if you wish to advise me please?
