What about Dell laptop with the following specs;.
4gig RAM,500g HDD,4th Gen,1.60GHz,corei5 4200U..

Exactly as poster before me said, start with this, . . when you start going too deep, be sure to upgrade. I use Jetbrains products
and always have the editors open . . Webstorm + PhpStorm already takes about 2GB during active coding.
Brave browsers with more than 50 tabs open, consumes about 1.7GB . . and 4 gb is gone . . I bet you cannot even do this because the OS still needs a bit of memory for its own thing. Well for now, the quickest upgrade you can do is get more RAM, at least 8gb [poor but manageable]
and then later get an SSD for insane boot time and app load times. Then you can relax for a while.

I won't mind to guide you in any way I can.
About studying computer science, you don't need a certificate to be a programmer. So if you have passion for the other stuff too you can continue with it.

You didn't state the RAM, But I guessing it's over 3GB. It's good to go. You can even use it for android development.

good evening bro, I'm looking for a system to get for my brother studying computer science, what can I get for him that will be okay for his course and whatever he wants to do with it on the course?
