Talking about the laptops for programming, it's not good enough to buy the pricey laptop, but it's good when you buy a laptop with good 'Processor, RAM and a good Hard-drive'. These are the factors that are to be considered when you are going to buy a new laptop. Today, in this blog, we will be talking about this factors and what are the best laptops within this factors. So, let's begin.

So, the first factor is the processor. A good processor with good clock speed, horsepower, is extremely needed for a programmer. If you are willing to buy the processor of Intel, it's actually good to buy processors higher than the 7th generation of i7. While looking for processor, it's good to have higher generation of processor. For instance, 7th gen i3 processor is better than 10th gen i1 processor (Just an example). Talking about the hard drives it's actually good to get a hard drive of type SSD. The Solid State Drive(SSD) is comparatively expensive, but very good and have very high speed then the traditional hard disc drive. A SDD of 1TB is extremely necessary in this time. Also, for programmers who may like to play games, not only games but also like graphics designing, video editing and more, will need some graphics card of at least 2 GB is required. Now, what type of Random Access Memory (RAM) should be used in your laptop?

The speed of the computer depends upon RAM and the processor(though it depends on every parts). If the Random Access Memory is low, the work-doing capacity goes down. Also, if the processor is quite low, than processing speed also ceases. So, the speed of the computer depends upon the co-ordination of the processor and RAM. So, now considering this factors, we have found top 12 laptops that could be very much beneficial for the programmers. Let's start our count.
