LUAN1:
this is what an seeing , still at the shop. One is dell latitude E5440, the other one is dell precision. Please which is manageable.

Sheriman:

Take the Precision

LUAN1:
the guy said it's work station, it very big and heavy in size

Sheriman:

If you can afford it take the Precision but if you can not, you can go for Dell latitude 5440 just to manage for now.
Which tech field are you planning to go to??

LUAN1:
web development

majesticguy:
That's exactly what I started with, the 8570p. It's a rugged system and if it's HTML CSS and JAVASCRIPT you are hoping to code on it, then it'd serve you well..
Though yours was a bit overpriced, probably cause of the exchange rate and all. But in all honesty, that laptop shouldn't be more than 100k, or at most #120k. Got mine for #70k last 2 years.

For games, well she's not a gaming beast, but most games below 2015 would run perfectly. If you wanna run something above 2015, then she'd struggle to or may not run it. And most times, you have have to tear down the games to it's lowest settings or mod an entirely new setting below the lowest settings before most games upward would run.
Least I forget, if you wanna play games on it, get an external fan, else be ready to change your processor every 3 months. She gets really hot when gaming, so try to observe her, and know when to give her a break, else you risk damaging her.

ABUPHARM:
Hey man! Go sign up for the next cohort on Alx Software engineering. You'll learn the basics of programming both front end and back end for nine months and specialized in any of FE or BE for the next three months. I suggest Alx for the following reasons.

1. Don't let anyone sweet talk you to make u think programming is easy, it's a though and bumpy ride and only the willing and strong mind survives.

2. With Alx you can study in group together to achieve same goal rather than learning stuff alone, most times it's get boring. Like the saying "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Choose wisely.

3. If you can't dedicate 10hrs of study daily on Alx SE don't bother heeding to this advise.

Thanks bro. The initial price was 170k,i priced it down to 140k,i checked online stores and all the prices of this same laptop were above 100k so I don't really mind that much.
I initially wanted a slim one with and SSD but those ones are above 200k,so I'll just upgrade this my own to an SSD when i have the money.
At least a Core i7 laptop with 8 gigs of ram and SSD with Dedicated graphics can complete with most mordern mid range laptops right?

Html, css and js

Ok I'm more interested in programming. Web design and Mobile apps development. What language do you recommend for a beginner like me boss? And how should i start learning it?

Fourpockets:

Doesn't matter if it's web, my laptop is HDD and just 4gb and it's working fine

LUAN1:
hp or dell??.. am about to get a laptop today to start my programming journey, is your own serving you well?? Does it have keyboard light?

Sheriman:

Go for the latitude then

Sheriman:

Go for the latitude then

LUAN1:
please choose between This two for me??

Sheriman:

You should have write down their spec not screenshot.

LUAN1:
Hp 250 g6 note book, Intel core i3, 8gb ram. 256ssd window10
No keyboard light
130k
2) dell latitude e6440, 8gb ram ,500hdd, Intel core i5
Keyboard light
135k
3) elite book folio 9470m, 8gb ram, 500hdd. Keyboard light, Intel core i3

Sheriman:

I will advise you to have patience and increase your budget for intel Core i5 8GIG RAM 256SSD keyboard light. 160K to 170K.
I want you to have a fully learning experience.
Increase your budget.

LUAN1:
ok. Thanks...but those ones are from 200k in uyo here

Sheriman:

Well, I understand you. Those spec of laptop will still managed to get your job done but later you will start experiencing some lagging. I have use both HDD and SSD before so I know what I'm saying. If you ever use SSD laptop, keyboard light with Core i5 above you will regret why you use HDD laptop with Core i3.
Technology too is evolving before you download any of the PC Application you want to use check their system requirements to know the kind of laptop you should prepare for or else na frustration and regretting you dey find for yourself.
That is why I suggest a person should have enough patience to buy a good laptop that can get the job done perfectly.

LUAN1:
thanks Bro...I needed something to start with, am just being careful so that i won't make mistake in my choice of laptop, couple with my my budget and I didn't want to waste Time anymore.?

NONNYG:
Look for Lenovo ThinkPad T450s, i5 5th gen, 8gb ram, 256 SSD.

This laptop can handle your job perfectly, not too expensive but super fast.

You can upgrade later. But pls avoid anything i3 or laptop without backlight
