Agreed; But for what you pay for the cheapo, under-powered laptop, you can build a powerhouse desktop.
If you are programming, you really shouldn't be doing it on the go. Too many distractions. TL;DR: Powerful, Cheap, Portable. Pick two. | |
I'm using an i7 4690k. I can pretty much compile anything I've ever made with BYOND in like 2-3 seconds tops. The act of clicking the compile button takes longer than the act of compiling does.

I was using it for college and wanted something that I can use for cars (obd2-to-PC), program, game, and do some media browsing without hiccups. I have a few desktops at home that are dedicated to when I wanna sit down and eat a whole box of the mini-donuts. | |

I don't bug them, they don't bug me.

But overall, the more cores you have doesn't matter for compilation. Go for raw processor speed, and for glob's sake, don't use a laptop.
