Questions Best Laptop for an Engineering Student

[spikyfox_LOL]

I got selected for Engineering at UoM for AC Yr 2023/2024. And I have to get a new laptop.
I'm hoping to get into ENTC or CSE.
Will this be enough for my academic work?

Yep., Buy a laptop with a dedicated graphic card. otherwise you will be having some lags while using heavy software like Autocad, Solidworks etc.

Get at least a 16gb ram version. 8gb won't carry you for 4 years. Look for AMD as well, Intel is shit these days.
