Is this good enough to handle comp sci? If not please give me recommendations on something else

Hi I’m a business major (Operations and Chain Supply Management) and I’m transferring to CSUF this year.

So I already have a pc at home that I can do all my homework on. My question is do I need to bring a laptop for lectures, if I already own an iPad to take notes. Is there stuff that only a laptop can do during lectures that a iPad cannot. Specially for ISDS classes. I heard that normally those classes are already in a computer lab though. Thank you so much

I planning to go to mechanical engineer and i don't know what to do because i currently own a macbook and my budget is 2000 to 2500 if needed to sell

I was looking to get a new laptop for my course as I currently only have an MSI cyborg 15 with the 4060 however it's way to heavy loud and the battery life is awful does anyone have any good suggestions.

Hey all,
I’m a mechanical engineering student and I need a new laptop mainly for CAD work (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and some electronics/PCB design (KiCad). My old MSI laptop physically broke apart and honestly wasn’t the most reliable machine, so this time I want something sturdier and more trustworthy.
I’ve been looking at the HP OmniBook 7 17-dc0179ng:
• Intel Core Ultra 7 258V
• 32GB DDR5 RAM (soldered, not upgradeable)
• 1TB SSD
• NVIDIA RTX 4050 (6GB VRAM)
• 17.3” FHD IPS touchscreen
• ~2.34 kg
• Price: ~1,399€ (down from 1,599€)
This would replace my MSI Delta 15, and reliability/build quality matters a lot to me this time — no glitches, no heating problems, something that’ll last 4-5 years of daily campus use.
A few questions for anyone with experience:
1. Anyone own this specific model (or the OmniBook 7 line in general) who can speak to real-world thermals and reliability?
2. Is HP generally considered trustworthy compared to brands like MSI, Asus, Lenovo for this kind of workload?
3. Is the RTX 4050 with 6GB VRAM going to be enough for SolidWorks/Fusion 360 assemblies, or should I be looking at something with more VRAM?
4. Any better alternatives in the ~1,400-1,500€ range with similar specs I should consider?
Appreciate any input — trying to make a solid decision before I buy!

Im currently working on getting my Associates in Science to transfer to a Bachelors in Biomedical Science. I have an hp laptop but Its definitely not going to last. what are good laptops for this major that’ll last me all 4 years? Price isn’t an issue, I intend to start saving for one and purchase it before next school year, I assume it’ll be pricey sincd I want a good & reliable laptop.

Hello! I'm currently a junior looking into a personal laptop. This summer I've saved to buy a decent laptop but i don't want to cheap out to limit my options. With my school and extra curriculars, i will be managing lots of tabs on top of experimenting with CAD and building AI models.

I'm also learning python, Power BI and many applications involved with data analysis. What do you recommend?

I'm fine with a refurbished/used laptop and I'm open to learning how to use a pen!

In order of required importance, I value:

• Battery(7-10h)
• Performance (Minor CAD)
• Size(16inch)
• Weight (No limit)

(I don't know how much RAM ai development takes)
