Do I Need An Expensive And Powerful Computer To Learn HTML And CSS?
5th September 2022
Which one should I choose?
The answer is no. I started with a 2020 Asus laptop with 4GB RAM, 256GB memory and a 1.2GHz processor speed which cost me £250 (USD $289) and a pen and pad which cost £1 (USD $1.16).
The laptop has been great and has never let me down. It has done everything I have required and I have built many sites with it and deployed a few- including this one.
The Asus laptop I used to learn HTML and CSS. I also used it to build and deploy my first website (this blog).
Four months after I began learning HTML and CSS, I started using an old 2005 Viewsonic monitor which my son picked up from the freebies section of a local online listing site as a second screen.

It is September 2022 and nearly a year to the day since I began my journey and both pieces of equipment are going strong and still being used daily.
Neither piece of equipment has let me down and they are able to do everything I require. I have plans to upgrade one day but at the moment I am happy with what I have.
From the small sites to the larger ones. From the individuals to the large companies, there is something out there for everyone. Just get on and make a start.
