I have these two laptops to choose from

❤️HP Pavilion DV6
core i7
8GB
Version 22H2
No keyboard light
CD supportive
Very big and heavy 🤨 ( large screen)


💙HP EliteBook
core i5
8GB
Version 1909
There is a keyboard light
No CD supportive
Very small and light. (Small screen)

Please, which of these two would be perfect for programming

If specifications are averagely the same (as is this case) I'll always go for the smaller (except if you have eye problem, sorry to say). Smaller support mobility and more compact to reduce damage due to fall. CD room is not an added advantage in this era where we deal more with USB drive and cloud storage. touch screen is a go. Elite book all the way. But if you have eye issue go for the other because in programming, you'll still split screen on the small elite book.
My point of view, no offense 👍

Thanks for your view, I don't have eye problem just that I love big screen.
I'm already in love with the eliteBook, so portable with screen touch, sim slot and keyboard light, and very new compared to the HP pavilion.
I'm just scared if there is something in it that wont support or make programming difficult.

Modern computers are versatile, I always see post of people asking if a system can do programming. All modern system can, the only thing is if they have the Processing capability to run programs seamlessly. 8gb ram is standard for a start, only thing left is get softwares and start to learn the basics.

The one with keyboard light, trust me
