What you need in 2020
Wide screen : Infact when I see programmers saying ram , graphics etc I keep laughing in 2020 you need at lest 15.6 screen size that's the smalleat for programming When you do web programming u will understand why u need wider screen
Keyboard : You need keyboard which is upto 102 to 106 keys and such keyboard is what we called standard keyboard they are those keyboard that has number keys popularly known as num pads Standard laptop keyboard sucks at programming , also international layout keyboard sucks go for us layout keyboard
Battery or power backup : You need stable battery or power supply coz on pc 10 hours equals to 1hour when u dey code
Ram : 4GB minimum Graphics : This is where people gets confuse
If are going for amd : Total system video memory should be : 2024mb and up Dedicated : 128mb minimum
For Intel : 1600mb and up Dedicated : 64mb minimum
For nvidia : 1800mb Dedicated : 128mb minimum
Processor : Make sure you are buying system that is amd64 which is the standard x64
Make sure your processor supports hyper threading And turbo boost
Anyway I can't just remember clearly which of the name the two processor use for the boost technology
Make sure your processor clock is up to 2.0Ghz both intel and amd
Dual core with two virtual processor or better Something like i3,i5,i7
Amd x4,A6 , k8 etc are all good even legendary x2 amd will serve well for web programming
Operating system : 1. Linux - ubuntu 2.Windows 3.Mac os I know Mac people will come for me but before you come for me , I have code on all this three operating system Mac native os sucks at programming , window is supposed to be first but Linux is distraction free than Windows
For easy set up window os , linux then Mac os
For storage : Forget all this hype about big data 120gb is ok
If you have the money go for ssd , hdd dey cast most time
Then a working brain na must

I believe that system reauirements depend on what kid of programming you are doing. If we take programming as an abstract thing, then every modern laptop is fine for programming as you can easily install the text edtors and write your code. If we take it more detailed, the we will see that a data scientist needs the computer which will be completely different from the laptop which will be alright for a web development. So, you should definetely specify, what your needs are and what you want to achieve. |

Brother you are wrong. A powerful PC will make coding easier for pros imagine all the lagging you will get when you try to run android studio + emulator +wamp+ a web browser and note++ on a system with 2GB memory
Edit 12/2020 If u have a computer with low spec, try web development. Especially HTML, CSS and basic Javascript. update again in 2022 |

It depends on your location , 70k can get you a decent laptop with hdd and 15.6 screen size For web development Fit to run , nodejs, php,python and etc But to get the best of your hardware install and use Linux as ur default os |
