Unker out of touch with laptops model now.

Budget RM4K.

I think preferably want long lasting battery. But those lighter laptops usually smaller screen a bit, can't have cake and eat it too.

Also nowadays laptops all jalat like phones cannot open change battery and add RAM etc...all sealed...kanasai.

I like HP and Lenovo brand.

Requirements:
1. 6/12 cores/threads minimum, preferably 8/16
2. 8GB RAM minimum
3. 512GB NVME
4. Light

GPU important for Engineering student? hmm.gif What they use? AutoCAD? Unker not Engineer.

Actually engineering software like Solidworks , Autocad , Ansys if you do 3d modelling , is preferably to have discrete GPU. They support GPU hardware acceleration. Of coz, discrete GPU is in gaming laptops.
If u only need to do 2D , then integrated graphics is good enough. But 8GB of RAM is not enough. Latest Solidworks you need minimum 16GB RAM to be usable.
