Is surface laptop good for coding?? Because i am trying to build an app for wm. My old pc is struggling with visual studio. Suface book is too pricy for me. Tell me if you have any suggestion under 1000$

Surface Laptop should be fine for coding as long as you upgrade it from Windows 10 S to Windows 10 Pro. It is totally powerful enough if you get any of the versions with 8gb of RAM. You can have a look at other laptops under 1000$ here Best Laptop Between $500 and $750 | Windows Central .

I have Lenovo Z50-70 notebook with 4th gen i5 and 4 gigs of ram. I'm a programming student and it works perfectly for programming. Visual studio and every other software for programming works good. Having Chrome opened with ~8 tabs,
MySQL and Web server emulator opened and still writing PHP code works without any problems.

13 inch screen is small in 16:9 diagonal . so prefering 15 inch or 13inch 3:2. It is good if it comes without numberpad which makes keyboard aligned properly to centre.

The Windows 10S faq suggest to return to the site in June, so then there maybe more app for coding and development.

Maybe even some lightweight Visual Studio?
