Dr. Steven Beaty

All computer recommendations age pretty quickly, but here are some guidelines.

1. SSD, 512 GB or better. Spinning disks will really slow you down.
2. At least 16 GB of RAM. Anything less will really slow you down, 32 GB if you can afford it.
3. The processor is irrelevant. They’re all plenty good enough for your CS projects.
4. The graphics processor is irrelevant.

With these in mind, you’ll need to choose between Apple and Windows.

For Apple, I recommend (and use) an Air – https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/

For Windows, I use ASUS. Here’s a suitable version – https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VivoBook-i7-1165G7-Fingerprint-S533EA-DH74/dp/B08KH4P5TL/
