Legion 5i

I bought myself a Lenovo Legion 5i around Black Friday last year via Amazon. Very happy with it so far. I use it both for leisure (like gaming, music, watching yt etc.) and school or other serious work. The laptop is great, it handles everything very well, works great, is very fast, and I haven't ha

Other commenter is right. To add, you’ll probably be using CAD within the first few weeks if you are planning on joining engineering extracurriculars. One thing you’ll need to consider when buying a higher end laptop is battery life and weight. Higher end processors and dedicated GPUs draw a lot of

Honestly for Engineering I would buy the Lenovo Legion 5i (if budget allows) or any gaming laptop. If your gonna use Solidworks and such having 16GB minimum of RAM as another user said and having 512GB SSD minimum is a good start. You’ll feel a lot different.

What’s your budget? I got a lenovo legion 5i 16in with 32gb ram (upgradable to 64), a laptop 5060, intel u9, 1tb storage with another slot (which I plan to use eventually for linux) for $1500 USD at costco and it’s worked great! Battery life is kinda ass is the only thing if that matters, but that’s

Well asus are problematic trash so good to avoid them It really comes down to whether you want to play games or not. If you want to play more demanding modern titles and want a dedicated GPU, look for a legion 5i. They're not particularly heavy and have a nice OLED screen, will work fine for the art
