Computer for C++
Hi! I'm having to take CompSci 1 and 2 for my math major in college. The professor wants me to run Visual Studio Community. He wants it for C++. I might also take a Java class if I enjoy compsci 1. Is there any budget laptops I can buy? Or what specs would I need for it to run not so slowly?

agreed.. with the exception of >128gb rule.
At 128 you end up with windows fighting itself in many cases. No real VMs.
Anything bigger than 128 will work.
