From video games to STEM projects, coding (or computer programming) is everywhere, and it’s only getting more popular. What’s fantastic about coding is that anyone can learn how to do it, and you don’t need an expensive laptop for it – just the right laptop.
As a coder, there are crucial features you must have in a computer – and failure to consider these factors will likely result in overheating, lagging, and eye strain.
To help you find your perfect match, we’ve created a guide to the best laptop for coding. Here, we’ll detail the best laptops for coding, what factors to consider, and what coders need in a laptop.
As a coder, you need uninterrupted workflow, and for that, you need the best processor (CPU). The CPU (central processing unit) is a chip on the motherboard that powers the laptop. The best CPUs have multiple cores with multiple threads, 3.0 GHz or more of computing power, and, at the very least, 8 GB of RAM.
You’re probably very familiar with RAM, but we’ll cover it quickly for those that aren’t: programs that you install on your computer use up RAM and need a certain amount of disk space to operate efficiently. With all the heavy programs, most professional coders prefer at least 16-32 GB of RAM to ensure tasks run smoothly.
Coders like to be on-the-go, so a long lasting battery is a must have. The average laptop battery life is can be from 1-5 hours but can last much longer. The best coders don’t settle for anything less than a 7-hour battery life, and many coders search for a workstation in the 8-10+ hour range.
Lenovo’s ThinkPad P Series Mobile Workstations have up to an impressive 16-hour battery life and are a growing favorite of coders on-the-go.
The keyboard is probably the most overlooked feature in all workstations, but for those who spend 90% of their time typing (we’re looking at you, coders, writers, and accountants), it’s a huge deal. The best coding laptops have a 10-key numeric pad and have keys that are easy to strike (but not too easy).
As a coder, you are going to have a lot of things to plug in. You need to make sure your ideal coding laptop has all the ports you need for the tools (and toys) of your trade. It is vital to have the ports for accessories such as a wireless mouse and headset, plus additional ports for the occasionally used plug-ins.
The best laptop for coders has all the basic ports, plus the extras you’ll need for coding, with ports to spare.
As someone who builds websites and apps, a coder needs a lot of screen room (screen real estate) to open multiple windows side-by-side. Most expert coders recommend a full HD 15” + screen to increase workspace and avoid eye strain.
With the latest technology, it’s not necessary to use a dedicated GPU (graphics processing unit), which is independent from the processor, unless you’re working with hardcore graphics like video games or video programming. The newest integrated GPUs, which are powered by the processor, are more than capable of handling heavy workloads and producing high-quality graphics.
Having massive amounts of local storage isn’t as important as before because you can save your files on the internet, however, you still need a primary storage drive. Most experts recommend an SSD (solid-state drive) over an HDD drive, as it is faster, lighter, and more efficient.
The recommended minimum is 256 GB. Depending on your coding projects, you may not need more storage than that (refer to the section above about storing files on the internet, AKA the cloud). With multiple storage and memory options, The Lenovo ThinkPad P Series mobile workstation is a perfect for coders with lots of programs and loads of data.
If you’re a coder, you need to consider few critical features before buying a laptop.
Processor – The CPU (central processing unit) is a chip on the laptop’s motherboard. The best processors have multiple cores and provide more than 2.4 GHz of computing power (or clock speed). Coders need a workstation with the best processors to ensure seamless workflow.
RAM – Cloud storage makes RAM a little less important, but programs still rely on RAM for memory, so it’s important to have enough to support your compute-intense programs. The available RAM storage options are 4 GB, which is the bare minimum, 8 GB which is standard, and an option to add on. The recommended minimum for coders is 8 GB, 16 GB if you plan on installing a lot of demanding programs.
Storage – The best laptop for coding uses SSD (solid state drive) as the primary storage, as traditional spinning hard disk drives are heavier and have a slower boot-up speed. The recommended minimum for coders (and anyone really) is 256 GB.
Display – Coders need a large workspace to avoid eyestrain and view multiple windows at once. Experts recommend a full HD 15” + screen to increase screen real estate and streamline multitasking.
Graphics – It’s not necessary for coders to use a dedicated graphics card. Today’s processors have integrated GPUs that are more than able to handle hardcore graphics. As long as you’re not dealing with videography or anything of the like, you should be fine with the latest version of an integrated GPU.
Plenty of accessory ports – The best laptops (no matter who they’re for) have enough ports to accommodate your accessories. As a coder, you’re bound to have multiple tablets, monitors, headsets, and other smart devices constantly in use. Always check to make sure the laptop you’re getting has the inputs you need before you buy, because it is a pain to always need extenders.
Wireless/Wi-Fi – No question about it: as a coder, you need the best Wi-Fi. Make sure to get at least the new IEEE standard: 802.11ac (5 GHz, up to 1300 Mbps), which is almost three times the previous standard (802.11n, up to 450 Mbps).
Long-lasting battery – Coders like to be mobile – that’s probably one of the reasons you’re considering a laptop. If the one you’re looking at doesn’t have at least 7 hours of battery life, find a different one. You might as well buy a desktop if you have to charge your laptop every 3 hours.
Lightweight but sturdy – You likely travel with your workstation frequently, so you need it to be light, but still built like a tank. We don’t think you should settle for anything less. Make sure your new workstation can handle its fair share of accidents.
Webcam (and microphone) – Webcams are essential for any laptop post-pandemic. Online meetings, appointments, and consultations all require a high-definition webcam that provides a clear, crisp video. A good microphone is bonus, but most computer professionals like to use headsets to prevent feedback.
Basically, there are a few vital features coders need in a laptop, and we’ve made a handy list for you.
The best laptop for coding has everything you need for cohesive workflow on-the-go:
The world relies on coders. They need the right tools to design, create, and test the websites, programs, and applications we use every day.
So, we made them one.
With a formidable processor, chunky RAM, and military-grade durability, a ThinkPad P Series Mobile Workstation is perfect for coders.
