Which laptop do programmers use to work, and how much does it cost?

It depends on what the programmer needs it for. For front-end or full-stack web development, a programmer needs a basic laptop. But when it comes to application development, then the need for resources increases. For a Machine Learning application or Blockchain app developer, powerful graphics processing capability is needed. For Data scientists, the memory requirement is a big issue. Data scientists often opt for laptops with a powerful dedicated GPU and 16 GB or 32 GB RAM. ML and Blockchain developers opt for laptops with powerful GPU and CPU.

If you are looking for a laptop that can suffice all sorts of programming needs then you must have a decent budget for that. Try the HP ProBook 430 G8 Notebook PC which has the latest-gen Intel i5 CPU with Intel Iris X GPU. It is a good start for any type of programmer, and the price range is around ₹90,000. If you do not want to spend that much on professional or business laptops, then go for gaming laptops as gaming laptops do address the needs of ML, AI, Blockchain developers, and data Scientists very well. Entry-level gaming laptops like HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk2095TX are an excellent choice for programmers due to the decent combination of powerful CPU and GPU. In this case, it has Core i5 and GTX 1650 within a price range of ₹70,000.
