I have a budget of around $750 and I expect to be able to code in it. I honestly have not much idea what the ideal requirement of a laptop for a college student should be, which is why I am asking here to get an estimate of the specs I should be considering while choosing one. I would advice against naming any specific laptop as I have no guarantee of its availability in my region.
You could get a last generation AMD laptop with 16GB of RAM for about $500 USD in the states. I’ve seen some from Acer for ~$400 USD that’s pretty decent. Aim to get something with upgradable RAM if you can
