I'm looking for recommendations on laptops that would be ideal for learning programming languages like Python and SQL. It also needs to be capable of handling schoolwork and some business tasks. What specifications should I be looking for to get the best performance?

For a solid experience, aim for a laptop with at least 16GB of RAM and the fastest Intel processor you can find, preferably something like an Intel Core i7 or i9. Also, it’s super helpful to have a dedicated number pad for coding and data work. I’ve got a laptop with a 12450 processor, and it’s been great!
I don’t keep up with all the specs either, but I would also recommend looking at Intel Core 7 or 9. That should handle Python and SQL with no problem!
So that’s the i7 and i9, right? I’m really bad at this stuff—it’s overwhelming! Thanks for clearing it up!
The processors are so confusing these days! What’s the fastest one for this year? I keep hearing about all these names like lakes and Celeron but get lost in the details.
