1 advice for all Engineering students, RUN away from MacBooks. Almost none of your Engineering softwares would be compatible with MacOS. You’d end up having to rely on virtual machines which would be limited in many areas.
My high school made us pay for MacBooks and said "you can use them in college," but gave them 8 gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of storage. This means that you can't even put a virtual machine on (because of space issues) to reconcile all of the other issues with macos
Thank you for the recommendations for the laptops. Could you do a video on your transition from being a Mechanical Engineering student to being a Mechanical Engineering. What would you think you would have done differently if you had to start all over again as a student and as an Engineer. Thank you for the content.
Those guys who are confused about integrated or dedicated graphics card, i want to say that integrated one can only help you to the college level but the dedicated one will help you in the industrial level. Dedicated graphics is always better than Integrated one.
Not exactly a budget option, but I've been very happy with my Dell Precision 5770 as an engineering student. It's the same chassis and 4K display as the XPS 17, but with a RTX A series GPU. I specced mine with the 4K display, 32GB RAM, an i7-12700H, an Nvidia RTX A2000, and 1TB of SSD storage. Runs Matlab and SolidWorks very smoothly, and does well with most games too. The display is amazing for movies in my free time too.
Awesome! I'm almost in my final year of Mechanical Engineering and though I enjoyed all courses taken so far, but find thermodynamics and fluid mechanics more Interesting and would like to take interest in Energy/Heating and Ventilation and would like you to please suggest possible undergraduate resources that can help with project topics in these areas.
I'd like to add something, if you can try and find a laptop will let you upgrade the RAM and storage. It'll be much cheaper to buy the laptop with less memory and storage, and just upgrade as you need it. Buy it with 16GB of RAM and upgrade to 32 or 64 as you start to run out doing more intensive work. Same with storage, upgrade or add storage as it fills up. Much more cost-effective this way.
This video would have been helpful 4-5 months ago 😅. Either way, great way to help incoming mechanical engineering students with their journey! Memory and specs is very important, specially when using software like Solidworks. You want to make sure your laptop can handle the program and that rendered images look good. Keep working hard Anna!
Hello, can you give me an answer? I work at a university with AutoCAD and Civil 3D programs. I'm confused now and don't know which laptop to buy, budget 1000-1500 dollars. I wouldn’t want to buy a heavy gaming laptop, but the airflow system should be good, what are the options?
How about an asus zenbook 14? I’ve found several with great features except for the gpu which is integrated. But the cpu is top tier. Should I opt for something different?
@@zzzzzz921 how you liking it? I really want to get it bcoz of its portability (and I also adore its sleek design hehe) but I’m worried about the graphics performance when using CAD.
Workstation gpu and gaming gpu are different. If you are in engineering company, then you won't find the provided workstation laptop with a gaming gpu.
I am Totally confused I thought we do need a Lot of graphics capacity like 6gb or 8 gb for CAD softwares like Solid works, Catia, And other softwares Are you sure? Is Processor alone enough like we don't need 6gb or 8gb graphics?
I want to buy an new laptop 2 options I have First one is : Asus Zenbook 14 OLED Laptop 14" AMD Ryzen 7 16 GB RAM 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD Windows 11 Second is : MSI Modern 15 H B13M, Core i7, 1TB, 15.6 inch. which one do you recommend? and is they helpful in simulation softwares ?
I'll start college in a few months I already have an M2 MacBook air should I get a Windows laptop for my college. (Money is not an issue but I don't want to waste my parents money)

100% agree!
wish I have read this before..
100% accurate

No. Thats a fact before apple silicon..Autocad version for Windows sold more copies than intel mac versions .

Hey bro is victus i5 12 gen , 4gb rtx 2050. Good for mechanical engineering for designing
cheat sheet was very helpful thanks
Thanks for the video!
Please also give info about precision dell laptops. What do you think about them like 5530 or 5540
Thanks in advance
I'd like to see you talk in depth about manufacturing
Good idea!
Just throwing out framework as a good option
what do you think about lenovo ideapad flex 5 ryzen 7? is it good? i want something thats not a heavybrick like a gaming laptop

Hi, do you think there are any 2-in-1 laptops that could be on the premium or pro tier?
What do you think about Dell Inspiron 16 Plus? I can get one for around £1000 or do you think i could get something different for this price?
Guys is the acer aspire 3 a315-24p-r7vh good for engineering students??
Which one is better for solid works

Is 15” a big screen? I am used to 13” on macs and tryna found some windows machine
for 900$ I bough acer aspire 5 . it has core i7 , 1TB ssd , 16GB ram , Full HD 1080 screen and dedicated nvidia geforce rtx graphics card.

Should i get hp pavilion 15 for mechanical engineering?
Hp victus is not good for mechanical engineering students?👀
You're thumbnail was really good, i guess better that the video itself lol, that made me click, but keep up, best of luck!
Hi do you think Dell - G16 16" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i9 - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 32GB Memory - 1TB SSD is enough for a student studying graphic design and industrial design?
in 2024 many less weight laptops available try asus /msi if available in your country they had less weight options but g16 is toooo heavy
HP ZBook Fury G10 🎉
I am Totally confused
I thought we do need a Lot of graphics capacity like 6gb or 8 gb for CAD softwares like Solid works, Catia, And other softwares
Are you sure?
Is Processor alone enough like we don't need 6gb or 8gb graphics?
Yes, like I say in the video, as long as the laptop has a dedicated graphics card, it should be good enough to handle CAD
@@theannareich okay thank you
ummm how is asus tuf f15 for mechanical engineering?
Hey will the new laptop of snapdragon x elite a better choice for mechanical engineering?
I have the same exact question 😭😭
@@randooooooooom yes bro waiting for answer
@@Zafrrrl I think we should get something like the Asus Zephyrus G14 or G16, as it has a dedicated gpu. Check Dav2d’s video on it
@@randooooooooom it's way too costly is almost about 2 lakhs
What about lenovo legion 7i getting that in 1.5 lakhs ( Indian rupees)
@@Zafrrrl I don’t know about that.

Yes get a windows laptop
What do you think about Hp envy?
Please response im gonna buy it today
I may have overdone it with my Asus Rog G16 with a 4070, 32gig, i9, and 240hz display then. It was less than the xps 15 though.
Sounds like you're ready for anything! Haha
Definitely not the one that we get at work😂
mam what about thinkpad P53
i thought of buying it
Please give me a suggestion
You forget Asus rog flow x13
GPU should be included in your specs
The only thing I'd look for is a dedicated graphics card, so not integrated in the CPU, otherwise any dedicated GPU should do for CAD
