Hey guys I'm taking diploma and degree in software systems development, which learns programming and coding. I wanted to buy a laptop for the course I'm planning to study.

Do I need a high end laptop for my course ?

What laptop do you guys recommend me buying ? I have a budget of around RM2.5k, can go over a little.

Also I will be using my laptop for some gaming like CSGO, Dota 2, FIFA and others. Will also use for movies and music but primary on college stuffs.

Thanks in advance !

Doing and learning are different things, and depends on what kind of programming, the spec of laptop might differ.

I can only see you are going after laptop with gpu because you wanna play games.

Dell or Thinkpad should be fine for your work/study..

since you will do some gaming as well betterget a Dell Inspiron with dedicated graphic card and 8GB Ram

Yes I was going to get ASUS X751LX until I saw the bad review about ASUS's aftersale customer service. No idea which one to get now
