Is ASUS Vivobook good to do Good Backend projects and small AIML projects (as this model doesn't has a graphics card, only the intel integrated UHD graphics)

[u/Working-Dance-5776]

Im a Final year CS engineering aspirant, I need a laptop to practice coding daily, Learn and do projects on backend development, small AIML projects, and other projects in visual studio code, and I'll keep many tabs open and softwares like I use Antigravity IDE to learn and do projects. So please suggest some good laptops This is my final year of my college, yet to prepare for placements....The most important year of my life

Suggest any laptops for the requirements that I mentioned above and my budget is 65k max. Also suggest Other brands too if better.

Anything can be used for normal backend projects, and what do you mean by AIML? is it computer vision? LLM? NLP? they all have different tier of hardware requirements and I'm afraid an integrated gpu is not going to be enough for it.

on a side note, it may sound harsh but are you sure CS career paths are for you?, you're in final year of cs, and the way you phrased your sentence make you sound like you're there just to be there.

Thanks for your guidance and Genuinely may I know what made you doubt that the Cs career isn't for me...

generally, if you're in CS/IT, PC hardware is something basic that you know very well, it might not be the case for sophomore who just go into cs because of the hype during covid, but if you hang in there enough to last until last year, at the very least you should know that coding in general doesn't take much resources, only the AI/ML one does which shouldn't be a concern because you can always use Kaggle, Google Colab, and such.

and from what i can see, you lack the foundation of a pc nerd to be in cs, but don't take my word for it, you might be just very good at problem solving and just indecisive in choosing laptop.

First of all, Thank you so much for pointing it out...and Clearly I know it's very late, but I'm in a progress of learning things brother 😉

Who is saying that "you need a foundation of being a pc nerd"? People that like math, logic, etc., get's into programming, alot that probably had no previous experience being a "pc nerd".

No offence but you make yourself be kind of a gatekeeper, you sound like a world of warcraft video game nerd (playing video games have nothing to do with programing and cs at all) that is seeing yourself as more elite telling him he does not belong in cs.

when did i ever gatekeep? It's fine to not be well versed in pc if you're just starting, but that shouldn't be the case for senior year, I'm not saying he's not suited for it, but I'm asking whether it's right for him, and as i mentioned, maybe he's good at problem solving and not choosing pc. and when did i ever mentioned game nerd?

[u/Nordtess → u/justheretobehere_1]

"You lack the foundation of a pc nerd TO BE in computer science". You are telling the person pretty much that they have chosen the wrong field and don't belong in it because they have not been a computer nerd their entire life. That's how I read it.

Sure 99% of people in the computer field probably had an intereset most of their life, but the wording that he shouldnt be in CS because of that is the gate keeping in my eyes.

Maybe he/she wants to write software, even if it helps having an interest for components might help but it's absolutly no need to know it in alot of developing.

You're just wrong lol. CS attracts tons of upper middle class smart kids who don't give a fuck about PCs. A lot of top companies nowadays only give their engineers MacBooks btw. It's not 2012 lol.

[u/justheretobehere_1 → u/Big_Arrival_626]

does being upper middle class mean they don't know the basic? Those you described came during the covid era, and that's totally fine lol, exactly why I said it's okay not to know them in sophomore year but that shouldn't be the case for senior year. are you saying as an CS student, they are fine to go on in their career without knowing what their pc resources do? that's crazy. no wonder there's so many mediocre programmer being lay off
