Those are very good choices . Today anything with a current gen Intel i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 or better with at least 8GB ram is perfect for coding.

Martin Taylor Good advice but there is very little difference in general purpose performance between the latest Intel CPU Generation. https://www.legitreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/core-i3-9100-qsv.png All you're getting is more cores. Unless you're playing multi core games or editing video with software that utilize multiple cores then your not really gaining any benefit.

By light weight do you mean price? Or actual weight?
