Best Laptop For Programming Under 50000

Looking for the best laptop under 50000 Rs for programming? Here, we've covered 5 great laptops below 50K for computer science students/programmers. Why use a laptop for programming/coding instead of a computer? The biggest advantage of using a laptop is that you can carry it anywhere. Imagine you're working on a Java/Python/Ruby/PHP project on a desktop computer. Would you carry your computer to the office, school, college, etc every day?

Well, although you can write the code of mobile, web, or desktop applications using a text editor such as Vi, Sublime Text, Notepad, Visual Studio Code, etc, many programmers prefer an IDE. You can run IDEs on laptops with any type of processor and 3 to 4GB RAM but the experience won't be great. Here are some examples of the same:

Android Studio, the IDE used for the development of Android applications won't disappoint you with its performance until you run the Android emulator. Once you run the emulator, the RAM and CPU usage will increase significantly. If you're using Android Studio on a budget laptop that doesn't have a good cooling system, the laptop's body will heat up significantly. The CPU usage will come down once the emulator starts and you're able to interact with it. If the laptop remains hot for a long time, its hardware might get damaged. Laptops under 50000 for programming have an efficient and powerful cooling system. Thus, you may not encounter the "laptop heating issue" while using them.

Editors such as Visual Studio Code, Atom, Sublime Text support extensions. Its RAM/CPU usage will increase each time you install an extension. If you're working on an enterprise project which will be run by an application server such as IBM WebSphere, Red Hat JBoss, you'll need a capable laptop. This is because IDEs such as Netbeans, Eclipse compile the code, generate the web archive file and deploy it on the application server each time you make some changes to the code file. During this process, the CPU used by the application server + IDE increases sharply. The more time the CPU takes, the hotter the laptop will become.

In addition to processor and heat, one more thing you should take into consideration while purchasing a laptop for programming under 50000 Rs is the battery backup and screen. When the processor is kept busy by IDEs & Editors, the laptop's battery will drain faster. To make sure that your work isn't affected by power cuts or power failure in your area, you must choose a laptop with good battery backup. What about the screen? The screen should be of anti-glare type (optional). Seeing reflection and writing code is annoying. Anti-glare screens show minimal reflection.

Best laptops under 50000 Rs for programming and computer science students

Lenovo ThinkPad E14 20T6S0UQ00

Some organizations offer ThinkPads to their employees instead of ordinary laptops. ThinkPads are great laptops for programmers because they have excellent battery backup, great durability, and an amazing cooling system. Launched this year in India, 20T6S0UQ00 is a thin and lightweight full HD laptop for programmers that costs around 50000 Rs. It has 8GB DDR4 RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2.0 to 4.0 GHz 4650U Hexa-core processor, and a 14-inch anti-glare display. This ThinkPad has a 720p web camera with ThinkShutter so that you can participate in or join video conferences.
