My son is asking for a laptop for his upcoming university course in cyber security. He is planning on using Kali Linux and says he needs something with at least 8GB ram, a powerful CPU, and at half-decent storage.
Now I don't know anything about laptops needed for this sort of stuff, but reading about I'm getting various laptop specs thrown about, such as a laptop with a 4GB GPU for brute force, so naturally, the budget is going up from our original price point of £500 and before we go down the route of spending more, I'd like to know if there are essential specs at out pricepoint that will work for him.
I was looking at something along the lines of a ryzen 5 with 8gb of ram. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA
