Im looking to buy a new laptop and found the Dell inspiron 5000 looks pretty good to me since my budget is €1000. It has an 11th gen i7 and 8 gb of ram.
I am not sure if a laptop with an 11th gen i5 and 16gb ram would be better.
I am buying it for daily use : YT, Netflix, Office & some light gaming (Smite).
Any advice or recommendations ?
Hey everyone!
I'm looking to buy a laptop for university, as I'm studying Computer Science, and I've come across an HP 15 with these specs:
• Processor: Intel Core i5-1235U • RAM: 16GB DDR4 • Storage: 256GB SSD
The price seems reasonable, but I'd like to get your opinions before making a decision.
Does anyone have experience with this model or similar configurations, especially for CS-related tasks? I'm mainly concerned about:
• How well does the i5-1235U perform for coding, compiling, and running basic CS programs? • Is 16GB of RAM sufficient for multitasking, running VMs, and handling larger datasets (as I progress in my studies)? • Is a 256GB SSD enough, or will I run out of space quickly considering the OS, IDEs, and project files? • Are there any known issues with this specific model (overheating, battery life, etc.)? • Would you recommend any better alternatives for a similar price point, considering my field of study?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
