Best for computer science students

Lenovo Ideapad 320

For people looking for a good sub-$1000 laptop for computer science students, the Lenovo Ideapad 320 is one of the best choices available. The best part about this laptop is that it is one of the few laptops in its price range that contains 8 GB DDR4 RAM memory. Powered by a 2.9 GHz AMD A9-9420 processor, the laptop is not even lighter.

The laptop for computer science students also brings a dedicated graphics card that is unheard of at this price point. The AMD Radeon 530 graphics card with 2 GB VRAM may not be the best on the market, but still, it is much better than not having an integrated graphics card or not. Other features include a 15.6-inch screen, 4 hours of battery life and a DOS operating system.

Asus VivoBook X507

The Asus product range has grown rapidly over the last couple of years, and all credit goes to the great value level of these laptops. The newly launched Asus VivoBook X507 laptops for computer science students are no different, offering a great set of hardware combined with an attractive price. Powered by the sixth-generation Intel i3 processor and an impressive 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, the VivoBook is a great tool. In fact, the RAM on this laptop for computer science students is synchronised at 2666 MHz compared to the standard 2400 MHz, which is a big plus. You get a 15, 6-inch Full HD display with a full keyboard, with zero compromises.

Speaking of the keyboard, there is sufficient spacing and key spacing that allows you to type for long hours without stress. As for storage space, the Asus VivoBook X507 comes with 1 TB of hard drive space which should be enough for most tasks, and more. In addition, the laptop also features a fingerprint sensor that uses Windows Hello for biometric authentication. The price of this laptop for computer science students fluctuates a lot, and is sometimes available under $1000. However, you usually have to go slightly over budget to get this.

Acer Aspire 3

If neither of the above laptops for computer science students meet your expectations, check out the Acer Aspire 3, a full-featured Windows PC equipped with a sixth-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 15, 6-inch display, 4 GB RAM and 1 TB. of HDD . It is basically the best Windows programming laptop you can get in this price range. I also like that the laptop for computer science students carries a full-size keyboard that is very comfortable to type on. If you are just starting out and don't want to invest too much money in your laptop, this is the one to get.
