Can I learn web development with this laptop and how smooth will my experience be ?

Intel core i5 4th gen
16gb ram
500gb HDD (don't have money for ssd) cry

What's your take, please don't just look and pass, comment to help me decide... cry

Note: I'm going to change the OS from windows to a light weight Linux distro hoping to make things faster cry

The main issue will be speed.

16GB ram won't make much difference since the processor is 4th Gen.

If you can get 10th gen Core i3, it's better than 4th gen core i5.

You need a processor speed throttled at 3.2Ghz (minimum) to enjoy programming with some softwares like VS, Android Studios, Unity, Constructs etc.
