Hi everyone,
my wife will start to learn some coding with R-Studio (open source software) and she needs a new Laptop for it. She is absolute beginner and has no experience with coding yet.
Mainly she wants a Laptop so that she can bring it everywhere. It shouldn't be a too expensive one.
After some online research, I started to like the following 2 Laptop versions:
1) Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R3UB, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 3 3350U (Quad-Core), RAM: DDR4-2400, 128GB NVMe SSD, WiFi 6 , Windows 11
Link on Amazon
2) Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-36UT, 15.6" Full HD Display, 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 (Dual-Core), RAM: DDR4-3200, 128GB NVMe SSD, WiFi 6, Windows 11
Link on Amazon
Of course I will upgrade the RAM to minimum 8GB. Would it be even more beneficial if the RAM would be 12GB or 16GB?
Which of the 2 above is the better option? The Quad-Core with slow RAM speed, or the Dual-core (4 threads) with faster RAM speed?
Or is none of them really usable for beginner coding? Do you have any other suggestions then instead?
Thank you very much, guys.
Best regards
Mat
