Best computer for programing & coding | PC vs Laptop buying guide

[@Juan-lj4pi]

As a programmer, your priorities are an OK CPU, reliable SDD, enough RAM, nice monitor and a comfortable keyboard. - CPU: most modern cpu are more than enough for 99% of programmers out there. Focus in getting something recent, but not overkill. An i9, i7, ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 are great, if you can get afford them, but do not lose sleep if you go with a cheaper one. Any chip that's not older than 2 years is acceptable if you're thinking of buying new, if you already have one, as long as it isn't too old, it'll be just fine. I wrote c# in visual studio on a i5 from 2016 with no problems. - GPU: if this is a workstation, and you're not making AAA games or into any form of design, which GPU to buy should be last in your priorities. An old RX 550 go for about 90$, and is perfectly fine. Do not get into the PC master race unless you have deep enough pockets. And if you're certain you're not going to use it, just buy a CPU with integrated graphics. - ram: 8gb ram minimum. Right now ram isn't as expensive as before, so 16gb is the sweet spot. You can find 2x8gb sticks for around 60$. Note, if you decided to go for an AMD cpu, pay attention to the speed of the ram you're getting. If possible, go for 3600mhz, 3000 minimum. - storage: get an ssd. You can get a low storage one (240gb) for ~40$, just install your OS, IDE, and main apps here and just buy a HDD when you can . Do not pick a weird Chinese brand. Well, this kind of applies to everything. I don't recommend anything lower than 250gb, as SSD needs around 15% free space to work and you need to install programs and your most common files on it, the jump from ~120 to ~250 is so small that is just not worth going that cheap. - motherboard: the only requirement is that is from a nice brand and that it won't bring you headaches. Go ATX or micro-ATX depending on the size of your case. Micro-ATX are typically cheaper tho, and if you're not planning on overclocking, they should be more than enough as long as they don't suck. microAtx go for around 60$-100$ and atx anything between 100$ and 700$. Do not spend more than 150$ on a MOBO in this kind of system. Leave that for your gaming one. - power supply: there are a bunch of power consumption calculators, just google them and place in your parts and it'll recommend you some wattage. Just go for a 80+ bronze and a reputable brand. Seasonic, corsair, EVGA are great options. 70-90$ should be more than enough. Don't mind if is not modular, your priority is the watts, brand and that bronze certification. - Keyboard: do not skimp on this. You'll be using it almost every single day for hours at a time. It needs to be comfortable, easy to type in and durable. Just because you're cheaping out on other parts, doesn't mean you're going to buy the cheapest everything. - Mouse: just get something reliable but nothing fancy. -Monitor: crisp and detailed letters are easier to read. You'll be looking at your monitor even more than what you'll use your keyboard. Buy a decent monitor. Go for 4k as soon as you can. Ignore anything beyond 60fps, you'll have no use for it. Oh, and try to get one that has a vertical mount included, vertical monitor does wonders to your ability to read code.

Bro is ryzen 3 3200g ok?

[@Juan-lj4pi]

@@cheesenutz3854 I didn't even remember making this comment lol. Tbh, I haven't used that cpu but it depends on what are you planing to use it for. If it's for something like web dev, you'll be more than fine

You are absolutely right broo.. i am a computer science student.. And I think what you are talking is right.. I definitely recommend this to all programmers ..

[@trozz2273]

Very interesting information to take into account between a pc and a laptop, in my case I prefer the pc. To program and encode.

I completely agree a laptop is the best option, worse it must meet the appropriate requirements, thanks for your good comparison ..

Can you do all of your programming on a laptop as a professional software engineer? I like the idea of using only a laptop.

[@mparmpakakis]

This might be a stupid question but I am gonna ask anyway. Let's I am coding on a desktop and the power supply goes out, does the pc immediately turn of and I lose the code or is there a system that gives you some time to save your progress?

[@jenkathefridge3933]

I'm guessing the code will be removed and pc probably turns off instantly.
