I need a new Laptop.

-8gb ram
-1tb HDD
Etc..
Is this enough for programming, using eclipse and so on?

    Got one with less specs and can use it well enough (netbeans, firefox, virtual box etc running at the same time)

    Should be enough for coding. Not sure about compiling though.

    I use visual studio and I had to change my hdd to ssd because loading time was awfull.

    Get an SSD. HDD's are a waste of time nowadays unless it's for slow storage that you don't access often.

    Yeah ssd is important..i thought so..and of course compiling and maybe android studios should work .

    @MaLiN2223 on my system, with ssd, VS loading times goes worse as time pass by. I also have some corporate encryption so that might add a layer of slowness.

    If you think you'll be running many virtual machines make sure you can upgrade it to 16gb or 32gb ram. An ssd is also a surprisingly good investment.

    @grublle its possible to 16gb, i think that'll be enough for now ^^

    I second the suggestions about getting an SSD. HDDs are basically obsolete for client machines, except maybe for ultra low end machines or storing lots of media (films, music, etc).

    I got a Lenovo Flex 4, it's incredibly thin, has a great battery life, and it's a 2-in-1! (Don't really need a 2-in-1 but the specs were good enough) Specs: Intel i7, AMD Radeon Graphics Card, 15.6" screen, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and it's $800, a good deal in my opinion.

    Many of fellow devranters have pointed out the importance of using an ssd and I'm joining in. I just can't stress enough how much better it is to use an ssd equiped pc.
