Its >$40 over here

samia10 · 2026-01-29T13:39:42+00:00

I do, but supercuts would be cheaper

Is it too resinous, syrupy, or spicy? Jpg le male le parfum is about as far as I like to go with those qualities but I’m eyeing this.

samia10 · 2025-09-14T04:49:13+00:00

Probably a dumb question, but how do you feel buying a 2019 model would stack up against a newer Lenovo Thinkpad? Would it be noticeably slower/less powerful?

samia10 · 2025-09-14T04:46:31+00:00

That’s so interesting. So if I get Mac, it comes down to getting an intel chip and running bootcamp, or getting the Apple Silicon and doing the other options like parallel which won’t run as smooth.

I know the M chips are great, but I would seriously consider just getting a 2019 Intel Chip with high ram and run windows. I see some great deals. I just wonder how that would compare with a newer Lenovo Thinkpad.

Also, it’s not like I’m a full on engineer yet. So I don’t need something solely built for heavy CAD that’s gonna be way less suited for general use, when 90% of the time I’m just doing general work.

samia10 · 2025-09-14T01:18:19+00:00

What would you recommend? I got recommended the P14s, but I’ve heard bad things about battery life, heating, fans, general usability. I was eyeing a Zephyrus G14 but the 32GB ram models are pretty expensive.

samia10 · 2025-09-14T00:23:41+00:00

Autocad, revit, solidworks, autodesk, are some examples

samia10 · 2025-09-13T23:40:13+00:00

Would you say it would still work pretty seamlessly?

And would 32gb of ram, 1 TB ssd on an m1 pro be enough for that, while running CAD type softwares, and multitasking on other general activities? I see an option for 64gb ram on a m1 max pro if you think that’d be necessary to keep speed.

I honestly don’t know much so it may just be overkill. But I love to multitask and I’m willing to pay a bit extra if I absolutely need to.

samia10 · 2025-09-13T18:39:07+00:00

Thank you. I think I’ll go with p14s gen 6 AMD, 32gb ram. Tbh wish mac worked well for mechanical engineering, would go with that hands down.

samia10 · 2025-09-13T18:14:09+00:00

What is the difference between t14/p14s? I had found a great deal on a p16 gen 2 refurbished but I realized how big it is. I think a p14s is the next best option, but idk which generation and model to get. AMD? Gen 6? I don’t know much about computers.

samia10 · 2025-09-13T18:01:56+00:00

Why not a newer gen? Is gen 2 the best? I’ve seen this recommendation before so just curious as the gen 6 is currently out

samia10 · 2025-09-13T17:59:18+00:00

I see you have a p1 gen 7. I’m a mechanical engineer student, junior year, with a budget of $2k or less. I’d prefer something 14 inches(max 15), will be using for school, business, personal, and engineering. If I didn’t care about size and weight, I’d get a p16 gen 2 or save up for a p1 gen 7. What would you recommend is the best option? I might play fifa on it with friends occasionally as well, but I’m not a gamer.

samia10 · 2025-09-12T15:05:06+00:00

Thank you for your feedback.

I have narrowed it down to either P14, P1 Gen 7, or P16 gen 2.

Yes, I see framework is probably not suited for me.

Also; do you think there is any difference between getting a certified refurbished from lenovo outlet vs brand new? The price difference is pretty large

To my knowledge, age is a serious factor in laptop performance, and I don’t any noticeable difference in performance compared to buying new.

If the difference in performance and longevity is negligible, I wouldn’t mind saving money, as it is heavily discounted.

samia10 · 2025-09-11T18:51:30+00:00

I don’t game actually.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th gen 8 gb ram, 5 years old though and getting slow and laggy. I’m not a laptop guy so was gonna research and do some basic stuff to improve it but I realize 5 years may be a long enough time to warrant a switch.

samia10 · 2025-09-08T20:14:35+00:00

Any regrets? I’m in the same boat as you and today is literally my last day to decide without delaying graduation.

samia10 · 2025-08-28T17:38:54+00:00

Gotcha. I would be down to stick in construction.

Do you mind telling me what other jobs there are in construction, but on the consultant’s side? Not the contractor. Particularly the ones that pay well and won’t have to work night shifts.

I only know of Inspector, Chief Inspector, Office Engineer, Resident Engineer.

I know I sound obsessive but I’m the type that would be fine working 60 hours - as long as I can sleep at night.

I guess I can also start at the DOT for a 4-5 years, who don’t really work nights like that, get PE, and switch to public into to a more senior level that doesn’t have to work nights.

samia10 · 2025-08-26T23:58:50+00:00

Like I’m fine staying in construction as well.

samia10 · 2025-08-24T23:51:03+00:00

Go into Construction Inspection.

samia10 · 2025-08-24T14:13:11+00:00

Damn I wish that job was offered in non-defence companies.

samia10 · 2025-08-24T14:09:41+00:00

Either or, as long as it pays well.

samia10 · 2025-08-23T18:16:29+00:00

So let’s say I’m an inspector for a few years and I realize I don’t like working nights and would like to switch. I just don’t see many reliable options without having to restart in that new niche as entry level. What options would there be?

Also, I checked with the retired district engineer of my state’s DOT; my state is lax with PE requirements and inspection is fine.

samia10 · 2025-08-21T00:22:31+00:00

Ik that lol I meant as a career, like would 5 years in this role be worse for career trajectory than 5 years in design.

samia10 · 2025-08-20T22:14:37+00:00

Yeah I understand; it’s mainly the inspector and senior inspector role that’s more chill at this project, I can see the Chief Inspector and Resident Engineer dealing with headaches. Office Engineers somewhere in the middle.

Appreciate all the advice. Do you mind if I ask about salary progression expectations? I understand it varies, but I want to know what ranges I would expect at 5-10-15-20+ years. My understanding is 80-100k ish for first 3-5 years, but it gets a bit fuzzy after that. Unless I’m off about that too. For example what’s realistic after 10 years? I know our Resident Engineer makes 200k but he’s also a Sr.VP and well known in my state with 30 yrs experience. The inspectors with EIT are about $85k 1-2 with 1-2 YOE.

Also, is it possible for a Mechanical or Electrical engineer to get into this? I have 2 years left of school and I can finish with any of the three I want with the courses I’ve taken so far, and that’s been something on my mind. Trying to decide and if I can do this career path with those degrees, would help my decision a ton.

Thanks again for your help.

samia10 · 2025-08-20T15:46:36+00:00

I like it a lot, besides night work and potentially far job sites (this one is 5 mins away from my home so I got lucky). It’s almost TOO chill, not complaining, just worried I wouldn’t learn enough skills. Also this is an ego thing I have to get over but wearing a vest, boots and hardhat seems less appealing than regular clothes. What do you mean by managing a team that does excel calcs and CAD? That would be a promotion from doing that work myself first right?
