Can this laptop support the requirements of a mechanical engineering student?
Hello everyone.
My friend is about to start studying mechanical engineering, and he asked for my help in finding a suitable and affordable laptop.
Within the price range he mentioned, I found the Lenovo IdeaPad 3, i3-1005G1 (or 10110u), Nvidia mx130, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB HDD, and a 1366*768 15.6" display.
Is this device appropriate for his needs?
And if not, what are the essential requirements for such a purpose?
I understand SSDs can significantly boost performance in rendering tasks, but we might upgrade later.
Immediately I would say no. This system will run slowly right away, even without mechanical engineering software installed. You should be able to obtain a list of the required programs from the school before the lesson starts. Check each program’s suggested specifications or needs.
