Re: What Is The Minimum Needed?

Programming and the DS software does not require a very powerful computer. Pretty much any modern processor will do. You probably want a minimum of 4 gb of RAM. An SSD is nice for fast boot times. Also a built-in ethernet port is convenient but not absolutely necessary because you could use a dongle.

My personal recommendation is the Lenovo Thinkpad 11e. Its a small laptop with an ethernet port and its very durable for the occasional accidents.
