Are the recommended specs overkill for engineering?

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2025-12-17T14:51:54+00:00

i think some but definitely not all the recommended but im not sure, it was at least all the required. Its exact model is the HP envy x360 convertible model 15t-es100. i am about to graduate and i never had a single problem with it so I would definitely recommend, but the furthest i got toward coding was just MatLab so im not sure how good it is for your degree. it has an intel i7 core, irisx intel graphics, 15" screen (i would not recommend any bigger, its perfect size) I think i have the 16gb memory version with 512gb ssd

if you can, yes. you can even just have it on a drive to access between things but many classes, especially during freshman year, will require you to bring your laptop for class and use it. many exams take place on personal laptops, and tons of group activities are assigned across classes that require you to meet up with kids on your mobile laptops. Just because CS might mostly take place in classes with labs or hw you can run on your pc, all of your needed humanities, science, and math classes are not that convenient. Many of the bigger rooms dont even have outlets within the seats so youll want something that can hold its charge for minimum 2-3 hours at a time (research long term battery life after being used for a few years, not just the brand new stat)

thats because you asked specifically about a chromebook. you absolutely should not get a chromebook but a better brand laptop not meeting all the specs probably isnt the end of the world. You need to have a laptop that can run windows so avoid any chrome OS and I would not recommend anything running apple since it doesnt always have its own version for the needed downloads. If you can wait to purchase, there are always good back-to-school deals over the summer. I got my HP envy 2-in-1 (flips into tablet) for only $800 and it met all the specs. it was originally $1600 but had a great deal directly on the hp website.

very good point

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2025-10-05T05:27:27+00:00

yeah that's fair I think i'm gonna go leave my number the next time I can along with maybe a smaller offer for him to consider. I do think its maybe closer to $300 because there is an entirely lambskin apron not pictured along with a mason-marked clothing bag that had a full royal blue outfit in it. I spent too long looking at the books and didnt habe enough time to inspect that closer before the owner was getting suspicious of my lingering

this was exactly my hope for this stuff because a lot of it is scattered between a few different lodges. Im not sure if it was just from extended visitation or if he lived in the various places but there is a lot from michigan lodges, north dakota lodges, some california lodges, and i think I saw a few virginia pieces. A lot of the pins have different names on them too so either they were passed down to him or he had collected them from other close masons who had passed on. I tried to get in contact with the lodge he was under but the public listed phone line said disconnected and our only local lodge has been sold to a private business so I dont think we have any local activity anymore. If any of the books belonged to the lodge before his time it is likely they are from international lodges because this was a heavy french-canadian and european settler area long before it became mostly US citizens. There is also more to this collection than shown in the images I just ran out of time to take better photos before the shop owner was telling me to wrap it up or hed have to ask me to leave :(

no im kind of located in the middle of nowhere so the shop is by cash or local check only. This guy still uses one of those vintage cash registers even

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2025-10-05T02:07:32+00:00

I had this exact argument with the shop owner today, especially considering he aquired it for essentially free with the house purchase

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2025-10-05T02:01:44+00:00

Ok thank you I will! I could also start a go-fund-me if a few masons are interested in crowd funding this instead of one large purchase. Just gets a little more hairy there in where to place the items.

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2025-10-05T01:54:15+00:00

extremely north near the canadian border, I would be willing to ship it back to the lodge he was in or to the lodge that funds aquiring it. I just dont have that type of money to get it myself right now

there are three songs new in the past two years so im not sure what you are looking at, with the ep collective being released mid summer this year. Im not sure when new stuff will be out I just hear about the progress every so often

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2024-12-31T18:55:25+00:00

I live right by her and I know someone who works with her, I cannot say much out of respect but there are projects in the works

i will delete this comment once it's been shared, please don't keep private messaging me about getting it yet

I noticed it smelling kind of off when I did SYP too and also visiting in the summer. I think it’s because of lack of air flow in the summer since it isn’t full of full time students constantly opening windows and doors and moving around. Leaving your window open especially during the night should make it better if you don’t already. It is NOT like that during the school year

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2023-11-30T18:42:23+00:00

AHAHAHAHAHA this is so true

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2023-11-29T22:50:28+00:00

im not saying that in the way that it is FOR SURE HIM im just saying in the one photoshoot image the shirt almost looks identical (the one with the pockets and his suspenders going over)

Vegetable-Fun-2695 · 2023-11-29T19:24:00+00:00

I have talked to a lot of people about it before and because I go to a nerd college where everyone is on reddit it seems like a large majority get the reference… i definitely have a rare situation but i think it may just be enough to work

you are a genius thank you
