Ola ola. Just wanna ask all the degree students or alumnis a question. Do we need a very advanced laptop once we enter degree? Are we gonna do alot of complex programming that needs latest i7 processors etc. Because I am ok with my laptop now but its a bit old so I might consider changing it. Thanks in advance
only need i7 if you want to play hardcore games ! eh wait those days with "ntah!, aibob, servers"
even i heard design lab - engineering now have good pc's (Xeon's or i7 something ?) !
those days have to wait for iteration so slowww using XP's T_T
back to your question. it depends on your budget and usage.
a laptop wont last forever, the practice that i did was to get a decent (mid spec laptop - got myself 2nd hand i5 3rd gen last time) then build own PC for several purpose such as Matlab, Solidworks, CAD/CAE software and even gaming.
broke my laptop during 1st year degree. couldn't handle the normal Pro-E software. Lets not talk about Pro-M.
BTW :
Please keep your laptop bag safe ! Uniten got a lot of "long hands" aka thieves ! especially in the COE Surau.
For muslims, if you want to pray. Either leave your bag with a friend or put infront of you while praying.
