need 6C12T and 8C16T meh ?

RAM and Graphics i understand but CPU so jialat ?

basically you need gaming PC already

not sure if Macbook Air M1 can handle GPU requirement or not but M1 processor quite good, surpass most of the laptop CPU out there

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?  What they use? AutoCAD? Unker not Engineer.

Just for Lulz

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....
