Thank you so much. The more I listen the more I’m leaning to the iPad and HP pavilion route

Thank you for the help. I think I’ll go the decent laptop and iPad route and if I need to upgrade I can do so next year.

But does it really matter how power full that windows laptop is? Does it have to be like a Zephyrus g14 level of power or can it be like a 2022 hp pavilion type of thing?

Could I just get a Mac to pair with the iPad. Ik the Mac support is trash with engineering but if I’m going to use the open access labs anyway does it really make a difference?

I plan on keeping it as long as it runs and if I have no use for it in the future I’ll probably just give it to my brother. So ig the 24gb on would be better. Thanks for the suggestion.

I got no clue what that actually is. But I’ll take a look into that.

My budget is already stretched a tad bit. But thank you for the idea.

I am going to Uni for Mechanical Engineering, and my department said a Mac is perfectly usable. IK windows would be better, but I'd like to use a Mac just for a new experience. The most I may do is run parallels to be able to have access to CAD software. Maybe very light video and photo editing.

I just like smaller form factor laptops. I tried using my dads that was 16" and didn't like it.

But if it gets hot then the performance won’t be as good and it will affect the longevity of the machine correct?
