As we get better and more compact computer technology, many coders are moving away from clunky desktops to sleek, portable laptops. In this article, we are going to take a look at three of the best laptops for programming in 2020. We&#8217;ll also look at three of the best best cheap laptops for coding if the below are above your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a seasoned programmer or a <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/letter-to-newbies-learning-to-code\/\">code newbie<\/a> just starting a <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/preparing-for-a-coding-bootcamp\/\">coding bootcamp<\/a>, these laptops will suit you perfectly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e852027296e\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e852027296e\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/best-laptops-for-coding\/#factors-considered\" >Factors Considered<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/best-laptops-for-coding\/#the-3-best-laptops-for-programming-in-2023\" >The 3 Best Laptops for Programming in 2023<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/best-laptops-for-coding\/#the-best-cheap-laptops-for-coding\" >The Best Cheap Laptops for Coding<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/best-laptops-for-coding\/#the-best-of-the-rest-honorable-mentions\" >The Best of the Rest: Honorable Mentions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/best-laptops-for-coding\/#9-of-the-best-laptops-for-coding\" >9 of the Best Laptops for Coding<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-factors-considered\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"factors-considered\"><\/span><strong>Factors Considered<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we are looking for the perfect laptop for programming, we will need something fast, powerful, reliable, and ergonomic. Good battery life is important as well. The price will also be a factor, though we will only list the manufacturer\u2019s price at the time of this article\u2019s writing: you may be able to find a better deal from another online reseller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to consider that programming is a very broad topic, and programmers in different fields will have different needs. For example, if you plan to work with big data or AI, you\u2019ll probably need a lot more processing power than someone working on less data-intensive code.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-3-best-laptops-for-programming-in-2023\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-3-best-laptops-for-programming-in-2023\"><\/span>The 3 <strong>Best Laptops for Programming in 202<\/strong>3<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of the best laptops for coding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Microsoft Surface Pro X<\/li><li>Apple MacBook Air<\/li><li>HP Spectre x360 15T <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We will also cover more laptops, including the best inexpensive laptops for programming, as well as honorable mentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-microsoft-surface-pro-x\"><strong>Microsoft Surface Pro X<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-85.jpg\" alt=\"The Microsoft Surface Pro X\" class=\"wp-image-10340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-85.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-85-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-85-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-85-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-85-385x217.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Surface Pro X isn\u2019t actually a laptop, it\u2019s a tablet that thinks like a laptop. While it functions with a (unfortunately not included) pretty nice keyboard, it can also be taken on the go and used with its 13-inch touch screen or a surface pen. It also has LTE connectivity, meaning you can connect to wireless data to have the internet wherever you plan to take your highly portable Surface. It\u2019s incredibly thin and light, 7.3 mm thick and 1.7 pounds (without the keyboard).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the technical side, the screen has a high pixel density. Although it\u2019s only 13 inches, it has a resolution of 2880 \u00d7 1920. It comes with Microsoft\u2019s new SQ1 processor, their version of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx, and 8-16gb of RAM, making it lightning-fast for a device of its size.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the downside the storage is pretty small, it comes with a range of storage sizes from 128gb to 512gb SSD. The battery life isn\u2019t amazing for power users, just around seven hours if using any kind of processor-intensive programs. It also currently has some compatibility issues with 64-bit x86 programs (like the adobe suite), so if you plan on using those this might not be the perfect choice for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This laptop\/tablet starts at $999, but that price can almost double if you need more than 128gb of space and a keyboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-apple-macbook-air\"><strong>Apple MacBook Air&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"892\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-86.jpg\" alt=\"The Apple MacBook Air\" class=\"wp-image-10341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-86.jpg 892w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-86-768x706.png 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-86-80x75.png 80w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-86-770x708.png 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-86-20x18-1.jpg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-86-385x354.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/><figcaption><em>As lightweight as they get<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Macbook Air is a go-to for thousands of professionals. It\u2019s a proper lightweight laptop that performs reliably. It has a brand new 13 inch IPS retina display that is crystal sharp with 2560 \u00d7 1600 resolution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technical specs do lack on this device, however, this is true of most Apple products. These devices are designed to make the most out of the hardware they have and perform much better than their specifications imply. That said, the newest Macbook comes with SSD storage from 124gb to 1tb, 8gb of memory, and a dual-core Intel Core i5. It does have a good battery though, which can run a continuous 1080p video for close to 10 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most appealing features is the form factor and weight; it\u2019s only 15mm thick with the keyboard, and it weighs only 2.75 pounds. These laptops are easy to hold and use, as well as transport.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One important consideration that sets this entry apart is the operating system. Unique on our list, the Macbook Air comes with macOS instead of a Windows operating system. While whether this is a pro or a con for depends on the user, it should be noted that macOS has less compatible programs than Windows. If you plan on buying a Macbook, make sure the software you plan on using will run on macOS, or there is a sufficient replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price tag for the newest Apple laptop ranges from $1099 to $1299, which isn\u2019t terrible considering how well Macbooks age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hp-spectre-x360-15t\"><strong>HP Spectre x360 15T<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-87.png\" alt=\"The HP Spectre x360 15T\" class=\"wp-image-10342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-87.png 720w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-87-20x17.png 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-87-385x329.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption><em>The powerhouse.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While this contender is not as lightweight or portable as it\u2019s rivals, it takes the category for high performance. It has options (incredibly) for a 15-inch 4k display, it has a formidable 9th gen Intel Core i7 processor sporting 6-cores, and it has a built-in NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. It\u2019s a laptop built for true power users, and it has the display and performance to match it. If you are planning on coding for game development, this would be a fantastic choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional specs include 16 GB of ram and a blazing 1 TB NVMe solid-state drive. The result is a powerful laptop that contends with many mid-range desktop computers and is debatably a better alternative to an Apple Macbook Pro. An added bonus is the touchscreen and the ability to fold the screen all the way around to make a touch display stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery, surprisingly, beats out most high power gaming laptops, lasting around 7 hours while watching HD video. It is a bit bigger than the other options, at around 20 mm thickness and a weighty 5 pounds, but this is a small price for the power provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also our most expensive option at around $1,800 (depending on where you live in the world), but less expensive variants of the same laptop are offered by HP in case you could afford to lose a few points of power, the 4k resolution, or go with a smaller 256gb SSD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-cheap-laptops-for-coding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-best-cheap-laptops-for-coding\"><\/span><strong>The Best Cheap Laptops for Coding<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the above prices seem a bit overwhelming, especially if you\u2019re just breaking into programming. Many languages and projects don\u2019t need that much power, especially in fields like front end web development where the load can be much lighter than developing machine learning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These three laptops are great inexpensive options for programmers: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>ASUS Chromebook Flip<\/li><li>ASUS Aspire 5<\/li><li>Lenovo Thinkpad X270<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-asus-chromebook-flip\">ASUS Chromebook Flip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chromebook Flip from ASUS is a Chromebook. If you\u2019re not familiar, these are inexpensive laptops built to run chrome, and that\u2019s about it. In fact, it runs on ChromeOS which is little more than a web browser and a file system. The good news is that today you can do almost anything from a web browser, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/best-html-editors\/\">including programming<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may be sacrificing in power (and memory, most Chromebooks only have a 64gb SSD), you make up the difference in cost. Chromebooks typically only have a dual-core processor\u2014instead of the more common quad-core processors being used in modern mobile devices\u2014and simple integrated graphics. ASUS\u2019s take on the Chromebook is no different: it\u2019s small, lightweight, well-designed, has a built-in touchscreen, and costs around $500 (depending on which model you select).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-asus-aspire-5\">ASUS Aspire 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If Chrome won\u2019t cut it and you do need a Windows 10 home installation, ASUS has your back again. The Aspire 5 costs close to the same amount that the Chromebook does, a little over $550. However, it offers an Intel Core i5 processor, 8gb of memory, and a 512gb SSD. It won\u2019t be as fast or as flashy as the above three, but it will work perfectly for basic tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lenovo-thinkpad-x270\">Lenovo Thinkpad X270<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be the first to admit that Thinkpads are not the prettiest laptops available. However, they are known for being tough. Thinkpads are laptops that last, and even the cheapest entry in the newest lineup, the X270, is no exception.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an Intel i5 processor, 8 GB memory, and a 256 GB SSD, this laptop comes in right between the other two inexpensive options. However, it also comes in cheaper than both at $429 at time of writing.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-of-the-rest-honorable-mentions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-best-of-the-rest-honorable-mentions\"><\/span>The Best of the Rest: Honorable Mentions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t have time to cover every high-quality coding laptop available here, so if any of those mentioned before aren\u2019t right for you, try out these laptops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Asus VivoBook<\/li><li>Razer Blade 15<\/li><li>Dell XPS<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-of-the-best-laptops-for-coding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-of-the-best-laptops-for-coding\"><\/span>9 of the Best Laptops for Coding <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of some of the best laptops for programming, including some great inexpensive options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Microsoft Surface Pro X<\/li><li>Apple MacBook Air<\/li><li>HP Spectre x360 15T<\/li><li>Asus Chromebook Flip<\/li><li>Asus Aspire 5<\/li><li>Lenovo Thinkpad X270<\/li><li>Asus VivoBook<\/li><li>Razer Blade 15<\/li><li>Dell XPS<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This list is far from comprehensive, there are more good laptops for programmers available today than ever before.
