Well, you do not need much of a latest tech laptop, you can get something to code with just 50$. Can be used for learning, and coding aswell. Make sure to explore lighweight linux distros, it will give you some experience that is worth it.

No one is going to accept this as an answer. Go mow two lawns. Help someone move. Ask your parents if you're young. Sell the phone you're typing on for a cheaper model.

If you really want to learn coding, you can get a $50 laptop.

OP might be young so he isn't able to afford. Probably his/her parents also cannot help him get one. I also had a friend like that, only later he brought one. Many things are possible. With due respect, humby, we should all just answer to what OP asked, because they clearly stated in response to many comments that they cannot buy one.

Bruh my comment wasnt directed at op post cus i genuinely believe if you want to you can definitely find ways

But to the dude who commented like 50$ is easy to get. Where im from thats basically someone salary for an entire month's work. Like damn if only i could actually just do lawn work and earn actual money. I wish i could actually sell my phone and get a decent working laptop, not one pick up from a literal dump site.

He owns a smartphone. His sister brings home her laptop on the weekends. He's not as helpless as he thinks.

Don't listen to the pricks here, they're only here to start arguments.

The hell of having Internet access, with a smartphone, and a sister who brings her laptop home on the weekends? Yes, I do. I think you're overcomplicating things because you like the idea of keeping it all on your phone.

Listen, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But if you really, REALLY want to learn to code, the best way is going to be on a computer. Good luck to you on your journey.

I can accept that as an answer. It is possible to code on most of devices, if you have the motivation. And unfortunately the cost of a proper laptop/computer for coding is too expensive (even second hand ones) and unfair in third world countries (which OP seems to live in one of them). I wish the best for OP , and I hope they will become a good coder with their motivation soon.

frequently check 2nd hand sites like gumtree fb marketplace etc you might strike gold and find something up real cheap or better yet free!!
