So I'm learning to code. I currently have a macbook air 2015 to code but I need more powah! My 2011 Macbook Pro crapped out on me. Now I have an i3 intel 16 gb windows laptop to run code using VSC. It's smoother. Anyways, hope to learn from you guys!
Any laptop is fine at the beginning, I started with a Lenovo 410ts with 8.
It was even broken, I learn ( and still learning ) and even built my very first product, the screen was even falling.
So if your laptop works fine, you should do very well.
Here I made a list of tools and stuff that may help you.

What are you learning right now?
I really hope it helps.
Edit: Ketchup on Pizza? no, ketchup no, por favor !
Congrats on beginning the journey! Does VSC = Visual Code Studio? If so, good choice! That's also the editor that I use when coding stuff for Indie Hackers.
