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.
As others have said, a t Thinkpad. I bought a Thinkpad E14 Gen 2 for $150 and it’s just awesome. I use it for school right now.
