    At that budget screen resolution is what I'd be looking at, none of the 1366x768 displays please.
    Specs aren't important for programming in my opinion. If it takes you 60 seconds or 90 seconds to compile something it doesn't really matter. You'll put more effort into correct mistakes first.

    Don't fet a chromebook. There isn't a lot to worry about when it comes to programming. A decent screen res and a good keyboard are all you need to look out for really. Have a look around yourself, it's good to learn about computer hardware
