It maybe a bit slow (for compiling) but that depends in part on how much RAM you have. A high proportion of applications you are running on your notebook are written in C++. Though these substantial applications probably need more power for the compiler to do its job without putting you to sleep. However once they are compiled everything is fine.

Almost certainly. When I started programming, roughly 300 people shared a computer with a 25 MHz CPU and ~5 gigabytes of hard drive space (a huge amount back then -- most personal computers of the time had only floppy disks at around 150-300 KB apiece...) We still managed to write and compile programs, though certainly not in C++ (it was a while later before Bjarne started work on "C with classes". -- Later, Jerry.
