best laptop for programming? Need ur answers urgently please.

Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition.

can i get the specifications plz?

Google man, google. Search for it on dell.com But really, any laptop that ships windows 7 will do.

On second thought, not any laptop will do. Get the Inspiron 17R Special Edition. Google it.

the laptop sounds good buh its way out of budget

does it matter ...depends on wht ur doin...i prefer laptops wid wider screen display so i can visualise my work better

alt the best shoe for walking. Enter

Dell inspiron...1545 to be candid

I also need a very strong laptop for programming and other intense stuff.

Sony VAIO VPC-F2390S (i7-860, 8GB, 512 GB SSD, 2GB nVidia, BlueRay burner)

buy i had no shoes(IHNS) laptop,its the best laptop for programming u to aso rock,but if u want to make money from programming go for femi otedola marked dollars(FOMD) laptop.

If you not on Sony VAIO, then you must be in real bondage. Sony is the best for now whether programming or whatever

go for something like this dude

For intense programming and intense gaming, then get a Dell alienware (be prepared to spend some serious dough ). The second picture is the alienware CPU, even a space shuttle can't compare to the processing capacity of that beast. I've never used it though, but you know good stuff just by looking at it. Oh, and the alienware laptop got some built in double turbo fans , so no amount of programming or gaming will over heat it.

What about a mac?

Compaq 615 is d best!!! Upgrade 2 Windows7 ultimate and u'll enjoy d Widescreen and Ruggedness. Programme till u don tire....

Yes. Python is an interpreted language, so you don't have to deal with lengthy write-compile-run cycles.

The guy is asking for a laptop and not a high-end machine like Macbook.

I use Macbook Pro for coding. Macs offers a great platform for the big boys in the programming world.

It comes with XCode which is a free interface
for programming. Mac programmers are scarce and are always in demand.


But if you do C+, C#, Java etc and you're looking for budget priced laptop, I'll recommend a Dell laptop. Get any spec with NVidia graphics chips, good ram, 17in display

Or go for the Dell XPS 13 ultrabook. It's sexy and it knows it:

Guy, how/where can I download a python IDE and API that runs on windows 7? Tried Python Scripter Version 2.9 and it didn't work.

any window xp and window7(not vista) laptop with 2-3gb ram and above 150gb is okay for programming.. Just make sure to buy external hard drive for backup maybe 80gb -150gb

mac book are for graphic designers, dj, anything visual is to easy to use. linux is for advanced user, windows is for semi advance , y mac is for ordinary user. in short most girls use mac.
