So i am a CS sophomore student living in germany .
I am trying to buy a new laptop that is both small ( light ) and will last for a while .
these are the specs that must be there :
14inch
256 GB SSD
8 GB RAM
I am confused in terms of CPU if the cores or speed matter more for programming
Any Graphics card
and a discrete style , not that colorful at least .
I searched and i found these 2 .
HP 14-ck1203ng
German amazon:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07SBVTY2V/ref=sr_1_38?keywords=laptop&qid=1573843045&refinements=p_n_feature_browse-bin:1478227031,p_n_style_browse-bin:392616011,p_n_pattern_browse-bin:213163031|392675011&rnid=392665011&s=computers&sr=1-38&th=1
I am not sure if a 1.6 Ghz is enough but it has 4 cores so I am confused of how good it actually is .
Asus VivoBook 14 F412FA

this one is the complete opposite it has good speed but only 1 core .
I just want to know which one is better
And if you better suggestions for the same price range ( you can go a bit higher ) .
I know i can study / program with worse pcs by the way but still .
Thanks
