What is the best laptop for CS students for coding and running Android Studio smoothly?

On the specs front, you should go with a laptop with at least an Intel Core i5 CPU, and 8 GB RAM for running Android Studio. 16 GB is recommended. Also, it would be better to have a laptop with SSD as it will give you the performance you need while testing the apps you develop. Coding or programming doesn’t require much computing power. You’ll need the power when you app emulators or for handling large datasets.
