I am looking for a laptop for electrical engineering students, budget <3k.

Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5 16"
Processor Intel® Core™ i5-12450H, 8C (4P + 4E) / 12T, P-core 2.0 / 4.4GHz, E-core 1.5 / 3.3GHz, 12MB
Graphics Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics
Memory 16GB Soldered LPDDR5-4800
Storage 1TB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe® 4.0x4 NVMe®
Battery Integrated 56.6Wh
Power Adapter 65W USB-C® (3-pin)
Display 16" WUXGA (1920x1200) IPS 300nits Anti-glare, 45% NTSC, TÜV Low Blue Light

Is this a good choice for 2.5k? Anyone with experience in using this model, feel free to share!

I should add that I am not gaming.

I'm ain't student but depends the software you use more on CPU bound or GPU bound or memory bound and nvme storage do reduce the read/write time .

Electrical engineering don't use much computing power. Simple machine will do.

Mechanical civil need stronger for analysis

do you need to draw cad? solidwork? or ecad?

I feel safer for engineering to get something with a GPU. For some reason if you happen to take AI subject, CAD design or just want to explore stuff, at least having a GPU would be nice.

I recently bought my younger bro a Victus 16 for 3.5k. I believe there's a model sub 3k with an RTX2050/3050/4050 (not great, but it's something).
