Want a “hacker” laptop without wasting cash? In this candid breakdown with OTW, we cut through the hype and show you what actually matters for learning pentesting in 2025: prioritising RAM over flashy GPUs, picking VMware (free for personal use) for reliable labs, using refurbs/minis/Raspberry Pi, and planning for where wireless
hacking is going (Bluetooth/BLE/Zigbee) — not just Wi-Fi. We also cover AMD vs Intel vs Apple M-chips/ARM for Linux VMs, when cloud cracking makes sense, and why daily practice beats buying gadgets.
Highlights:
• Best beginner specs (RAM first, SSD nice, storage ≠ speed)
• VMware vs VirtualBox for home labs
• AMD/Intel vs Apple M-chips/ARM for Kali/Parrot VMs
• Alpha adapters & aircrack-ng compatibility; Nordic nRF52 for BLE
• Budget path: used/refurb, mini-PCs, Pi, phone/cloud labs (HTB/THM)
• The 80/20 rule of hacking: skills are greater than gear

If you’re delaying until you can afford a $2 – 3k laptop, don’t. Start now, learn daily, and upgrade later.
