Programming for android on a weak laptop?

Good day, I have a not very powerful laptop (2gb RAM, some kind of intel celeron, but there is no video card as such). How would you design? And most importantly, in what IDE?

no way.
1) throw it away ...
2) go to the store and buy at least something modern for 50 rubles
ps or install Lubuntu

Popular IDEs for Android 2 development: Android Studio and Eclipse. But basically everyone uses AS.
6GB RAM is not enough for me, but for someone, I read, and 16, Android Studio is very voracious. In any case, it will be more comfortable to work with 16GB.
If you mean programming, ie. studying, and not professional development, then a regular text editor + Gradle build system will do. And more heavyweight, you can hardly run more

On such hardware, even surfing the modern web will not work, but you are going to program

Develop only in Android Studio. You want to learn how to program for android, and not sit around trying to cross a snake and a hedgehog.
Solve the issue with a laptop by buying another one, in which you can add at least 4 RAM, preferably 8GB and a full-fledged processor that supports Intel VT-x.
Good used laptops on Core i5 2+ generations can be found on ad sites for 10-15t.r.
SSD for 3t.r. will also give a significant increase in speed.
Consider this money an investment in yourself. If everything goes right, they will pay off hundreds of times.
