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.
If you do end up getting a MacBook and want to run Linux on bare metal, you might want to get a slightly older one that has an Intel chip. Running Linux on Apple silicon is a slightly more involved process.
