Hi,
I'm beginning a degree in software engineering and I wonder what laptop I should get. We will do a lot of java, using mostly Eclipse, and Microsoft Visual Studio. I'm currently programming Android applications on a HP G6. I actually don't know what would last for 3 years. I try to avoid some brands like Acer, Samsung, Sony... I'd like an Asus or Lenovo with Intel cpu.
I've watched for i3 with 4gb of ram, Will it be enough? Should I get an i5?
I would also prefer if the laptop was under 15.6". I have a larger screen at home and plug it when I get back from school.
I'm also not a gamer, I do not need a good graphics card.
If it was not for programming stuff, I'd stick with an i3, because I only use my laptop for Word, Facebook and stuff like that...
Any idea of what would be good for me?
My budget is very limited, under 700$ would be great.
Thanks!
