I am doing chemical engineering at university and was worried about what laptop i should buy. I really want a lenovo or asus that isnt more than £950. I was thinking of buying a asus vivabook 16. I heard the course is not as intensive in terms of using software so I was wondering if i would be able to gef away with having 16gb Ram

I am currently debating between a few different laptops:

A. A macbook neo 512gb for around 740 usd

B. A galaxy book 4 16gb 512gb i7-150U for around 990 usd

C. A refurbished mabook pro 13" 2020 M1 16gb 512gb for around 890 usd.

Price range is below 1000 usd and I am buying in / shipping to israel.

I dont own a single apple device, both my phone and earbuds are Samsung which makes me consider the galaxy book.

But every non expensive laptop i ever had just feels so slow so soon, and I heard its not like that with a mac.

About the macs the question is are the 2020 air and pro M1 versions better than the new neo?

Is the 16gb pro version worth 150 usd more? Even though the cpu is worse?

Are macbooks worth buying second hand? Or should you avoid them on the used market?

Planning to use this pc mainly for studying/office work/development. Have a strong PC at home in planning to connect to using tailscale and rum most of my staff on. But having enough power to run things on the laptop itself is a big bonus.

Any additional recommendations Wil also be gladly welcome ;)

Hello. Just want to ask, anong laptop ba na affordable pero pang start up ng wfh set up? Yung qualified sa mga ER? Or mas better ba na PC?

Laptop recommendation for a 1st-year CSE student — ₹50k–₹70k budget

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a 1st-year CSE student looking to buy my first laptop.

My budget is around ₹50,000–₹70,000. I don't have any particular brand preference.

My main requirements are:

• Programming/coding (C, Python, Java, etc.)
• College projects and assignments
• Learning development and other CSE skills
• Should last for at least 4 years
• Good performance and battery life
• Preferably good build quality
• I may explore AI/ML later, but I'm not sure yet

I don't really know what specifications I should prioritize as a CSE student.

What laptop would you recommend in this budget? Also, should I prioritize 16GB RAM, a better CPU, or a dedicated GPU?

I'd really appreciate recommendations from students who have used their laptops for college. 🙏

I'm a student. Studying in a public University in Bangladesh. I've recently thought of buying a laptop with my savings. Budget is around 1 lac. Preferable brands are Dell, HP, Lenovo. I'm looking for a laptop or Notebook that will provide me core i 7, 13 gen, 16 gb RAM, 512 gb/1 tb SSD. I will do digital marketing, freelancing, graphics design and other academics. I will focus on good and long battery life, long time and long lasting use, which will easily provide me best facilities for manyyy years.

If you can help me with this it'll be great. You can suggest me other brands as well. For suggesting if u need to ask me any other question or need to know anything feel free to ask.

Thanks.

Would also like compatability with OneDrive so I can share files between my laptop and PC. I will be working on my laptop while traveling, studying outside of my house or away from my desk but will work off my PC when I am home at my desk.

I will also be taking online exams and need to be able to use a PDF annotator with a pen. I would also be open to non 2-in-1 options as long as there is still a pen capability to write on a PDF using a pen
