But maybe 1 year down the road, KJ declare sudah menang, then all go back to campus....i think laptop is safer bet.

Yeah, i think i need to ask uni first before blindly buy a laptop. If really don't need all the horsepower, just get the lightest laptop possible for office and presentation stuff.

And yeah, students today probably go to Starbucks with their laptop....

alright then, maybe Illegear, a few years ago i might recommend Lenovo because price quite competitive, especially legion series but after graduation, i didnt chase pc specs that much, not sure whats the case now.

Light laptops ain't good...

Autocad looks at the dell precision Quadro series

Mine still running... 7 years old nao...

That is not for student level la. Anyways , Quadro is the same silicon as GeForce , just with drivers that are certified by the industry CAD software makers. Maybe more VRAM , and thts it.
Autocad works perfectly fine with GeForce or Radeon , the requirement is only DirectX support.
Many years ago , ppl need Quadro because CAD software demand OpenGL drivers which GeForce suck at. Now no more.

Hmmmmmm......then my advice.....get a desktop. Not like you going to bring ur laptop to starbucks and do 3D hahahahahaha,,,,,,,,,wait do they?

Laptop with 3D graphics is quite pricey and doesnt really last very long (milage vary but personally laptop devices tend to break on me after just 2 years). Also, this covid thing seems like is going to be over soon IMO.

Again up to TS. I dont really know how TS's uni going to handle this anyway.

this is not 2008 anymore

laptops these days are powerful, efficient, and at the same time lightweight. Not like in the old days of where only heavy brick gaming laptop can game and do heavy task. Sure at the same price point, a PC beats laptop in terms of performance (if you know what you're buying), but not really by much anymore

From what I know people bought Quadro last time in US is because of the great support for Quadro which Nvidia guarantees a replacement within certain period. Does not applies elsewhere, so no point buying Quadro GPU if not in the US.

What engineering? Need autocad? Afaik yes autocad does require discrete GPU and workstation GPU is more suited for autocad. However costs may be a concern for workstation laptop. Try checking if dell refurbished outlet has 4-4.5k workstation laptop. If you study EE, not sure Abt bachelor, but Msc especially, signal processing requires ML. Then consumer discrete GPU is way better. Don't ever get workstation GPU! Its low CUDA cores, especially low memory (2-4GB) means ML training will be shit. 4.5k can get gaming laptop RTX 3060

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.
