Hi all sifus,

My current laptop died.

So basically I just need a new laptop for the following requirement:-

- Basic Web development using VS Code
- Gitkraken
- Basic stuffs like Word / PPoint

Is Intel Celeron N4020 /N4500 good enough, or should I go for i3 / i5?

Issue is budget.

If I can make do with just a Celeron, then why not?

Thanks in advance for all inputs!

VS Code might be light weight, but those NPM, LIBMAN, YML libraries is taking up hell lots of space and in many cases you don't even know what had been installed in your PC.

I will not settle with anything less than an i7 + 1TB SSD + 16GB RAM

My laptop is macbook MD101 2012, really cheap. I upgrade the RAM to 16GB and change HD to SSD. Until now, this macbook still really have good performance. You can check on shopee or lowyat plaza

Thanks for the recommendation, but in the end I went with Honor Magicbook 14.

So far so good with all that I need.

i3 sucks, no go
my coll using i3 to compile android code @ mba 2018, it took 20mins
compile the same code using i5 with mba 2016, 5mins

just to give you the idea of the i3 vs i5
