Suggestion for new Dell Inspiron 3530, Intel Core i7 13th Gen - 1355U, 16GB RAM laptop

[AnandGupta]

My existing laptop is i3 with 8 gb ram.

It feels very slow in Android development and more if emulator used (I need it as just have one phone).

Now I am planning buy i7. Saw this one in Amazon,

priced around 755 USD (67 k INR).

Dell Inspiron 3530, Intel Core i7 13th Gen - 1355U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, FHD 15.6"/39.62 cm, Windows 11, Office H&S 2024, Silver, 1.62kg, Backlit KB, M365, 15 Month McAfee, Thin & Light Laptop

I do not have much budget, and latest is I7 core which is way high in price.

I need suggestion from members if this will prove much helpful for B4X development ?

I like the ASUS vivobook RYZEN 7 16GB - B4J/B4A/B4i no issues ... ever !

My 11 year old Asus Zenbook with an i7, 12gb and 512 works just fine. I also have this if you don't need a laptop, or use your existing laptop as a backup. You can probably find something similar to this for less.

Go for 32GB ram, you won't regret it

Sometimes you don't need to buy another one. I upgraded my laptop.

I increased the memory to 32 GB.
I used SSD drives.
M.2 SSD (SATA or NVMe) for Windows.
SATA SSD (2.5 inches) for files and apps.

Aprox. TOTAL: $ 150 USD

It will improve your speed by 100%.


Note:
You can install Windows 11 if you want, even if it doesn't meet the requirements. Check out Rofus. There are several tutorials on how to install Windows 11.

It's important to make sure you have virtualization enabled on your laptop, to improve the use of emulators and also to virtualize Linux.
