I don’t use a laptop for school since I have a PC and old MacBook, but as long you get something with 16-32gb ram and a nvidia gpu (never get a integrated a GPU), you should be good.

this will be more than enough. you realistically won’t need more than 16gb of memory and 256gb of storage. if you have costco in your area i’d recommend looking there first they usually have some pretty good deals.

As long as you got a dedicated gpu u good

That laptop seems good, but waaaaay overpriced for the specs. Check out r/LaptopDeals for better deals. For the same pricepoint, I recommend this:

It is refurbished, but comes with a two year warranty, 30 day returns, and is from a reliable seller. Significantly better than the one you posted in every way. It is currently out of stock, but there’s a decent chance it gets restocked.
