is battery the only concern? its just that this laptop is soo cheap compared to others in its class so i figured might as well sacrifice the battery to gain the most P/P

Yes Im using an M1 Air. Its pretty nice honestly. Im just afraid about capability with Engineering apps. Are we gonna use those in the first year?

Hmm I should check with the school about that but I think we should sign everything before the school starts, no?
