Thanks For Info bro😊. how about u did u learn that redhat course or finished it earlier?
Adding expert @bikidas2060 bhai for suggestions!!!
Thanks Bro. how i forget bikidas bhai
You don't need a power hungry machine until you start deploying the models. As you're on very initial stage, your current purchase will get outdated by the time you'll start interviewing for real "ml/ds" roles. My suggestion will be MacBook Air if you can afford, or any entry level laptop with 16GB / M.2 drive. Invest your saved money over Google colab and stable internet connection.
yes bro whatever machine i bought it outdated by time. i can't afford macbook. thanks for suggestion. any laptop model suggestion?
Perfectly agree with what @TempAcc says here. While learning, you just with fabricated tiny data sets. All you need is a decent machines unless you want the models to build in a very short time for ML.
The real data sets is a different story, even your Apple M2 or Core i7/9 won't matter. Better to get a Paperspace account or google collab pro account for these, you will eventually need them once you move to deep learning where no local machines are sufficient to run the models unless you have a capable server.
Apple Macs are your most friendly machines to learn data science and python, so seamless to handle packages. Working with Terminal is a breeze and the machines handle the load really well. Get an M1 MacBook air, more than sufficient until you move to Paperspace or Google Collab Pro.
I'll suggest Lenovo. My experience has been pretty good with them. You can look for below models as per your preference:
82NC00FSIN - 11th gen i5, 16gb ram, 3y warranty + 1y ADP by default - [76k before offers]
PS: Lenovo website have several coupon codes, you need to search on dd and apply. Additionally, there is another offer which is 10% upto 5k cashback on any credit card.
Yoga Slim 7i Pro 11th Gen (14, Intel)| Long battery Life Laptop | Lenovo India
Another good laptop one of my friends bought today is 2022 Dell Inspiron 14 - 76k (with offers 70k).
PS: 2y extra warranty is available for 1.
Inspiron 14 Laptop with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor | Dell India
Dell has a few coupon codes like SPOT1000, and then citibank credit card offer (10% upto 5k cashback) on top of it.
Thanks bro i will chk both of them. but yoga was 76k. could i get discount? after discount how much?
Laptop have two problem - battery and Heat
-the more advance laptop u take more heat it will generate and possible throttle
-u will need dedicated graphic card a)fast processing of multimedia content (youtube education) b)some app/emulator needs graphic card (bluestack)
-settle for i3 with dedicated graphic card, use the saved money elsewhere
-for memory SSD will good (as it will b fast and no noise later ), but all SSD come in cheap offer as external so dont worry about size and type in laptop
-DELL is the best brand in my opinion , there laptop do last long DELL/HP/Lenova in this order ,, do not go for acer they are cheap and bad
-also check the sound config. not just the loudness (but loudness do define this ) .. even 1.5L macbook have poor sound and i have to connect external speaker just to watch series
Anyway now Looking to buy new laptop, this time will go for Dell/Lenovo/Macbook.
which macbook model you have?
any better suggestion instead of mackbook.
buy i7, 2GB graphics card,16GGB RAM with 512GB SSD.. buy dell built quality little low, slightly price less than HP.. buy HP for good built quality... rest all hardware same, long lasting... customer support both are same 1-2 days.. dnt buy any other brands like acer, gicer and all..
Utube,purchase online course
dell, 8gb ram, i5, ssd 480gb
dell model suggestion?
Macbook air or lenovo thinkpad. Go for macbook air
bro i can't afford macbook
Min 16GB RAM, 512GB/1TB SSD, Integrated graphics (Xe & above)
About CPU, the decision isn't simple (i3 vs i5 vs i7). 12th gen intel chips are way more powerful than 11th gen but there are too many variants (U,P,H). No Xe graphics for U | P & H series chips (two extra performance cores vs U) got more horsepower but this means they're power-hungry too [TDP/PBP : 15W (U) vs 28W (P) vs 45W (H)]. 11th gen i5 should be enough but P-Series is the safe bet. H-series is found in bulky options (Better performance [95W MTP] + cooling & lesser battery life w/ similar battery capacity) but unlike some of the thin/light-weight laptops (U,P) the display panels used on most of these devices are medicore (Even on ~1L options)
So, decide accordingly (Brand preference based on local service quality)
thanks for detailed info but can i get 12th Gen I5,8/16GB Ram, 256/512GB ssd,integrated graphics in 50k? u have any model suggestion?
@Tony007 Get a m1 or m2 mac mini / macbook best for your use case trust me on this m1/m2 is way better at what you need all this x86 processor are usless unless you wanna game on it. If i were you i would get a mac so i wont be distracted and will never be able to game on it. The best option is to not keep any so you only do what you must.
Bro i also want to purchase apple macbook but my budget not allowed it. but in future i will definitely purchase macbook
@Tony007 AMD and INTEL are behind. Dont invest your money in 2gen old hardware arm is the way ahead.
both of them have already given you the best advice and i would say the same if you cant buy it then i would recommend you get a used or cheap laptop and save up dont waste your money. In my experiance nor intel or amd are making chips that have inbuilt performance for data science related work you are just gonna be wasting your money as they are 2 generation behind of what apple is doing right now in the computer space i own a ryzen desktop fully specced that i got way back which was ok then but now its a totally different game alltogether. This is my 3rd comment for a reason i dont want you to invest in a laptop which is gonna be usless in the coming 2 years not coz of its usability but because of its performance for the task you are intending to buy for. I dont mean to disrespect anyone here but trust me x86 (Intel / AMD) is just usless for your use case.
You can use VPS as well.
If you want to deploy on cloud and for this if you want VPS from DigitalOcean for cheap DM me 😃
Ok If I Need I Will Surely Dm
i5 11th gen , ssd , ram 12gb will work for you

Although I'm IT Engineer so to say, I'm not tech savvy frankly speaking, I know how to make it work but I don't have much knowledge regarding software and all. And FYI, I'm using office provided HP Elitebook 840 G6 laptop.
guys suggest me dell models which have 12th Gen I5, 512gb Ssd, 16gb ram, intel iris xe graphics
@kartikxxx @TempAcc @raghupro @demerius2020 @monu.tanwar123262 @getready @guest_999 @hackerboys @Simbha3 @andromeda @ZNZ
@Tony007 Don't get anything now, there will be sales on both Amazon and Flipkart in less than a month from now (Expecting amazon one to be better like every year). Then decide one among the many based on their deal price
Many thanks for suggestion but can buying laptop from amz/fk is safe or not? cause many complaints about it.
bro ur right but i am selecting this laptop cause of i will use it for 5 to 6 yrs or more didn't change laptop so for long term use i choose 12th gen i5.
i am decide to purchase Dell Inspiron 5420 so guys it have 1yr in home hardware service included. + which one i took accidental damage protection & premium support? if i am only take Adp at purchase time. and after some time can i take extended warranty btw whats ur suggestion to take warrenty. and how's their premium support plan should i take it whats ur suggestions?
guys help me
@guest_999 @getready @decideaim @bikidas2060 @atx88 @LG50 @shraaj @xxxyyyzzz @LIMBO
Dell's warranty extension packs used to be very expensive. Dunno what's the current situation.
@Tony007 Ignore the above post as some ppl think they are the "absolute authority" on everything & qualified enough to make statements like "extended warranties are worthless investment" or "ADP is same" just because they personally never faced any issue during 1 year standard warranty or 2 years extended warranty. I can tell you this, if you ever took an asus laptop to their service centre for repairing say a failed mobo & they found a scratch/micro-crack on hinge(caused due to poor build quality & frequent opening closing of lid) which has nothing to do with mobo failure then service centre will reject your warranty claim unless you have LADP. Nowadays ADP is must because many times service centre won't even consider something which normally should have been considered under standard warranty so think of LADP as "extra premium to guarantee even standard warranty".
@bumblefoot in case you still remember my complaint in PM.
u r right bro i am also purchasing adp for extra protection. adp for 1yr is 1827. adp covers hinge problem? Ladp?
guys when i go to dell exclusive store executive is force me to buy some warranty which deals with software issue.which one was that? should i really need to get that or not?
You gonna need that 3 year ADP plan. Trust me it ll be a life saver. 🙂🙂🙂 Don't take any extra stuff. That approx 4000 investment includes everything
@bikidas2060 @atx88 brothers did u know when dell offer 10% discount on icici card. cause right now they decrease amount by 3k so should i purchased now or wait for icici discount which i don't know when comes?
They are doing Citi City thing now. All of a sudden huge resurgence of city offers is astounding. Btw, they ran icici offer last month. 🙂🙂🙂
Update. Croma offline store is having this promotion, "flat 10% off on any windows laptop priced above 75k, listed price not marked price. Bank offers on top of that". That's nice naa..
does 14inch screen gives eyes strain? or should i go for 15inch or 16inch
The font is definitely smaller in 13.3 and 14 inch ones. Your eyes get adjusted to it though (we use phones around 7 inch screen). However if you are not looking for something extremely portable and plan to use for a lot of time daily, go for 15 and 17 inch ones.
I was using a zenbook 13.3" before and now using LG Gram 14", my eyes are used to it now. I use them for general browsing, reading etc. But my office laptop Zbook workstation is better for the eyes with its 15.6" screen and better ergonomic full keyboard (with number pad, significant space on both sides of touchpad to support the hands while typing etc) . I prefer it for a full day of work over the other two.
In short, the keyboard gets smaller as the screen size reduces, so consider this too while deciding.
yes bro i am thinking to go for 15 or 16 inch is good for not getting eye strain. i will use it a lot of time daily for learning coding n practice on it. searching for 15 inch but Inspiron series their is no 15 inch available only 16 inch (5620) available but price is 74500. guys any suggestions
In my company, all the analyst and so called data scientists were allotted i7.
So considering that logic, atleast go with i5 , ssd (512).
Graphic card normal bydeafult will be fine i guess.
Either dell/ hp , dont go after Lenovo.
You may consider acer, or other brands as well as per your budget.
I believe, machine learning part u will do in cloud so this config of laptop should be fine.
And yeah Good luck for your new learnings.
