    Question for people who already went through graphic design: what did your laptop actually need to do? Course software, battery life in lecture halls, weight in a backpack, all of it. I have a tight 600 dollars and I lean toward a good keyboard. I'd love to hear what you would buy again and what you regret. Bonus points if you can tell me what you would skip, because every extra feature seems to cost more than it should.

    been there man check if your university has student discounts with laptop makers. Many do, and it can push you one tier up for the same budget.

    prioritise in this order: 16GB of RAM, a decent SSD (512GB at least), a screen u can look at for hours, then the processor. RAM and storage are teh parts that make a laptop feel old in year three, and on many thin laptops they are soldered. worked for me anyway 🤷

    oh ive been there lol check your departments software list before buying... some nursing programs need Windows only tools, some need a dedicated GPU, and some run fine in a browser, the syllabus answers this better than any forum. lmk how it goes
