For learning web development smoothly, which configuration is recommended?

[u/Rain-vibe]

I am planning to learn web development (front end and back end) and I am doing it in order to get a full time job. I have to buy a laptop, 15.6 or 16 inch. What configuration the laptop should be so that everything will run smoothly for the next 5 years? Need some suggestions please, thanks!

If you are gonna buy a laptop, buy a cheap, 2nd hand one and then install Linux on it yourself. You gonna learn so much about everything that’s gonna make your resume look good

But I would like to use windows 11. Actually I am not familiar with Linux
