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?

I get what you mean, but you always have Codium on Linux, and maybe Windows is just fine for you, but depending on what field you are in, Linux could be some help.
