💻 What laptop should I get for learning to code on a budget?

I want to start learning programming and need a laptop that can handle it without spending too much. Does not need to be gaming level, just smooth for coding and running a browser with many tabs. Any suggestions under a reasonable budget?

For coding (browser, editor, maybe a local dev server running), you honestly don't need anything fancy. I'd look at the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim or Acer Aspire Lite with at least 8GB RAM and an SSD, the SSD matters way more than the processor for how snappy it feels day to day. Avoid anything still shipping with a spinning hard disk, that alone will make VS Code feel sluggish.
