Hi! I'm sure this is without question a super beginner question, but I feel like I need to make an informed decision because I don't know how much it matters. I need to know what is the best budget laptop for a computer programming college student, that can handle whatever is required of the course. My old laptop broke and I need to know how important a new one's specs are for this course. Any information would be helpful please.

For spec it is the most powerful you can afford, only you know your budget. Some development tools are resource hogs, others are lean and fast, only you know the tool set you will be learning and working with.

Buy what you can afford. For what you are doing, the minute details wouldn't matter.

If you're planning to use it for normal purposes like using MS OFFICE and other software. It's very important to choose your processor and RAM. And if you're into gaming, please consider getting a good GPU as well. HP Recently released this laptop which I think is good for you.

Hi Ivan, while buying a laptop especially for Programming ( As you are a Programming Student) You should see below these specifications: 1) RAM - Memory is very important as all applications use memory to store temporary variables. 4GB is Good and it can increase up to 16GB. 2)Processor: Cpu plays a major role in speed as it processes millions of bits in a second, So Ideally i5 or i7 processor is the good choice. Extra Features you should look for - 1) Graphic Card 2) Battery Backup You can check out both of them, they have good reviews and specifications. HP 2017 15.6" Full-HD IPS UWVA Laptop Dell Latitude E7470 Business Ultrabook I hope it solves your query to an extent.

One thing you didn't say and it has a bigger impact to the performance is the use of an good SSD. About your tips... I have worked long with DELL Latitude (several models) and I was very happy with them. They have the option of "big capacity" battery which gave me the possibility to work the whole day without having to plug the power supply.
