There can be no compromise when it comes to choosing a laptop for a coder/program developer.

 A good strong computer is literally the backbone of a coders’ career.

While coding every process must go as smooth as it can get, there is no time for buffering or any kind of hindrances.

You need a system that is strong and fast to load and run all your processes swiftly.

Besides the best processor and best SSD, coders also depend highly on top-quality screen and nice keyboard.

Although, due to the different stages of development and unique tools required for coding, there isn’t a specific set of standards that the coder’s computer must meet.

But following are some features that you need to make sure to be available in a laptop that will be used for coding/program & game development:

•  Intel Core i5 processor with a frequency of 3 GHz
•  At least 4 GB of RAM, but room to upgrade to 16 GB
•  A 256 GB solid-state drive
•  Battery life of six hours
•  Official Linux support

HP Spectre x360 13

The Spectre x360 13 is a typical 13.3-inch Ultrabook laptop meant to be portable, versatile, and high quality.

The Spectre line of notebooks from HP is its premium consumer tier, but that doesn't mean a high starting price.

Features a full HD touch display, 10th Gen Core i5 processor, Iris Plus graphics, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

Coders would be quite satisfied with that configuration.

It's worth noting that HP includes its HP Pen (non-tilt) at that price, which offers exceptional value.

The portable is gorgeously designed with an incredibly svelte chassis.

It also comes with a beautiful 4K touchscreen that is accessible even to lower-end configurations: a feature that was previously only available on the higher-end configurations.

Besides the beautiful outer model, it has the brawn to get you through the more demanding projects.

As the sum of its parts, the Spectre is an enticing, powerful machine that will do whatever you ask it to.

As the world is affected by the novel Coronavirus Pandemic, the teaching-learning process has shifted to online or digital approach. From elementary-level to university-level, all the classes are being conducted online throughout the world. Consequently, parents are concerned about the gadgets that could help their kids in digital learning.

People, generally, use a Smartphone, tablet or laptop for online education. Considering different factors like availability, health aspects, budget, screen, class-time, etc. the suitability of a gadget for online education differs from person to person and their age-group. 

Here, we present you the device or gadget that could be efficient and suitable for you or your kids.

Smartphone 

The gadget possessed by a lot of people i.e. Smartphone is handy, portable and easy to use. It is best suitable for short classes with possibly less or no slide shows or whiteboards because the screen is too small to read the content and can strain your eyes. Being handy, children can easily use it and surf the net for homework as well. The battery part may also be another disadvantage if you have longer classes. And, I personally feel that it’s difficult to do and submit homework and assignments in a Smartphone. But, if you have a limited budget, go with smartphones because something is better than nothing.

Tablet

Tablet, with a relatively large screen, is the best device for children. It won't strain the eyes as one can easily read the contents in a slide show or whiteboards. As it is easy to use, the children can join the classes on-their-own and can also surf the internet for their homework conveniently. There are several budget-friendly tablets as well which don’t lack much in functions and features. The battery aspect differs with the brand but will not cause many problems. Tablets are suitable for higher class students with a limited budget as well.

Laptop

Laptop, in my opinion, is the best gadget for online education. From attending classes to completing assignments and projects easily, it is the best device for students (from mid-school and above) and teachers. Varieties of functions, larger screen size and longer battery life are the major advantages of using a laptop for online education. However, the budget aspect can be a disadvantage as most of the good laptops are above $400 or Nrs. 40,000.

Online education, superficially, seems to be a great substitute for traditional education approach and also a step closer towards a digital world. But, it has its own consequences as well; Increase in screen-time leads to an increase in health risk as well. So, it’s better if you try to reduce the screen-time as much as possible.

But how can you find that if you have no knowledge of the requirements? See, it's clear that we all want a decent laptop for gaming at a reasonable cost. So for this, you just need to hear about the benefits and drawbacks, so that the disparity between the poor laptop and the good gaming laptop can be quickly found.

Because of its great and advanced features such as speed, compatibility, size, etc., even people who do not want to play games on a gaming laptop like these laptops.

Gaming Laptops Advantages

1. Portability 

In terms of portability, it is very convenient to hold and bring in some areas, but in the case of weight, this is not so. If you go to work, it's often mandatory to take your laptop with you. At this time, the best laptop for gaming shows itself. You can only take your college bag and really quickly bring the laptop.

2. Speed

Speed So the Gaming Laptops are designed to hold the quickest operating system, high graphics, and other advanced features since gaming is the primary objective of designing the laptops.

Many labels are present on the market. You can buy the best Gaming Laptop brand from which you can not face the problem of slow processing and operating system if you choose to use the Gaming Laptop for more speed.

3. Less consumption of power

As there are many laptops that use more power when charging, power usage is also the key point of concern. Due to the charging issue, the impression of the standard laptop is a little lower than gaming laptops. Compared to gaming laptops, the charger of the regular laptop gets exhausted easily when it adheres to the outlet or socket. If we take into account the battery life of a gaming laptop, so it will last longer than regular laptops.

It is also true that the battery's lifespan and life depend on its specifications and usability as well.

 

Disadvantages of Gaming Laptops

1. No Upgrade

The biggest demerit of gaming laptops is that your laptop will not be updated. The processing device and functionality were periodically updated. Suppose you bought a gaming laptop with the newest operating system and features, but you will not update the gaming laptop until the new edition arrives.

If you want to use the newest features, you need to buy the new laptop again and the cost of the old laptop will be absolutely lost. Non-upgraded units are Gaming Notebooks.

2. Pricey

Laptops for games are much more pricey than standard laptops. It involves several modern and innovative features and, for this reason, the cost of these laptop styles is very high. For the same price as one gaming laptop, you can get two regular laptops. If you wish to purchase a gaming laptop, you can only spend twice the price of a regular laptop.

3. Bulky

Gaming Laptops are very portable in the benefits section, but the weight is heavy relative to standard laptops. So, because of its weight, it is sometimes not very easy to bear. Gaming laptops weigh a little bit heavier relative to standard laptops. They usually come with 2 options for hard disks.

One is an SSD and the second one is a conventional hard drive for backup. A decent dedicated graphics card is also bundled with a gaming laptop, which is an external peripheral that we find in standard laptops.

The scale and weight of the laptops really matter a lot because in public spaces it is very convenient to bring and wear.
