I have a budget of around $750 and I expect to be able to code in it. I honestly have not much idea what the ideal requirement of a laptop for a college student should be, which is why I am asking here to get an estimate of the specs I should be considering while choosing one. I would advice against naming any specific laptop as I have no guarantee of its availability in my region.
Be warned that most AMD options from Lenovo have soldered ram.
Not the gen 2 L15 with Ryzen 5 though, I just upgraded mine about a month ago. Not sure if op can find it new though :/
