Hey everyone,

I'm looking to buy a new laptop for my engineering studies and could use some recommendations on the best options out there. What laptops do you think are ideal for engineering students?

Here are a few key requirements:

• Performance: Needs to handle demanding software like CAD, MATLAB, and various programming environments.
• Portability: Should be lightweight and durable, as I'll be carrying it around campus.
• Battery Life: Long battery life is a must for long study sessions and work on the go.
• Budget: Looking for options that offer good value for money.

From what I've researched so far, a few models stand out:

• Dell XPS 15: Known for its powerful performance and great display.
• MacBook Pro: Excellent build quality and smooth performance, especially for coding.
• HP Spectre x360: Versatile 2-in-1 with solid specs and battery life.
• Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon: Reliable, with a great keyboard and robust performance.

Does anyone have experience with good laptops for engineering students & these models or other recommendations? Any insights on what to look for or avoid would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best, Jonathan Jone
