Help Me Pick Between A Light Chassis And Raw Power For Nursing

Avoid the cheapest models with 8GB and an eMMC or small SSD. They feel fine in the store and miserable a year later with a browser full of tabs and a video call running.

lol same thing happened to me check your departments software list before buying. Some mechanical engineering programs need Windows only tools, some need a dedciated GPU, and some run fine in a browser. The syllabus answers this better than any forum. good luck man!

spent my entire lunch break on chassis and im still not done

yeahhh battery life matters more than benchmarks for students lmao You will sit in lecture halls with two outlets for two hundred people 🙏 Look for reviews with real battery tests, not the manufacturer's numbers. worked for me anyway 🤷

rip

😭

oof check if ur university has student discounts with laptop makers, many do, and it can push you one tier up for the same budget. good luck man!

+1 same here. wait does this also apply to light?

nah tbh i disagree with the RAM first advice for some courses :D If your work is heavily GPU bound, a dedicated GPU matters more than going from 16 to 32GB. just my 2 cents

finally got it working, thx everyone thank u thank u thank u

@voxel_shed111 did u ever fix it??

@quartzlab-11e WOWWW decided on the lighter model. The seniors were right, the heavy stuff runs in the lab anyway. Thank u all.
