If u are planning just to code on it.. hp elitebook is enough.. its 8 GB ram, 500gb ssd corei7 and 2 GB Intel graphics.. its ideal for cs students who code and the battery hour is also cool.. about 4 hours straight while coding and less while u are browsing.. BUT if are interested in gaming or 3d graphic design.. u should look for a gaming pc. And if are girl, pls use it carefully.. dont drain it with 100 viruses and drink spills
