Battery life is also a consideration since I’ll be taking it to classes, but I won’t compromise on power just for portability. A good display and solid build quality would be a plus, especially for long hours of work.
I have a budget of around $2000-$3000 and am torn between high-performance gaming laptops and professional workstations. Gaming laptops like ASUS ROG, MSI, and Lenovo Legion seem to offer great specs at competitive prices, but I’ve heard that workstation models like Dell XPS, HP ZBook, or the ThinkPad P Series are better optimized for engineering software. Cooling and durability are also key factors since overheating could be an issue with prolonged usage.
