Oh my god finally an actual engineer who actually knows what they’re talking about. All I’ve seen so far is just tech bros talking about whether I can game or something
To be fair, if it can game, it can CAD. My aunt is a proper architect and I’m studying engineering. Her whole office is all ROG laptops. I had a surface, it isn’t cutting it (there’s no dedicated gpu) so now I’m looking at the ROG surface z13 thing. Basically a surface with a gpu, it’s just really ugly and expensive.
Gaming is pretty analogous to CAD in terms of what you need in hardware. And you can spend less on a gaming laptop that will do just as well as these "workstation" laptops in these tasks. I bought a Legion 7i for $1770, adding on 4 years of warranty to about $1850. This gave me an i9, a RTX 4070, 1TB of storage, 32GB of RAM, and a 1600p screen. More than enough for an engineering curriculum. And its covered throughout my schooling. It's solidly built with all-metal construction and a premium design. While it is a gaming laptop, it looks fairly normal in all respects except for the RGB lights in the keys (which can be set to white or turned off entirely) so it looks as if it could be in a professional environment. It nets about 5-6 hours on light tasks which is perfectly acceptable in an environment like a university with lots of outlets (should be plugging it in for intensive tasks like rendering anyways). The same RAM, storage, and display resolution in a Thinkpad P1 would have cost me over $700 more than what I got my Legion 7i for, and would have given me worse battery life, slower RAM, a worse CPU, and worse GPU. Likely, worse cooling as well. Oftentimes it does not make sense to get a "workstation" laptop as they will just greatly overcharge you and be overkill for your purposes (as will the gaming laptop). Ultimately both a gaming and workstation machine are built to render things. As for a laptop in the real Engineering workspace, you will likely get a work laptop so that choice is taken out of your hands anyways.
Video notes: SSD, 16+ GB RAM, i5 at least, need a dedicated graphics card, a lot of battery, no OLED for battery life, touch screen not needed, HDMI, USB A AND USB C, get a bluetooth mouse, low weight
@@moretonesraros6703 I use it for mostly school/work related purposes (Matlab, excel, word, autocad, etc.), plus minor gaming, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
My XPS 15 battery has been replaced and it sucks. I can barely get 2-3 hours out of it and I need it plugged in all the time. Its like it needs permanent life support
Excellent points. I’ve been a long time MacOS user and it pains me to have to switch back to Windows for CAD applications. The only work around for me has been to run Windows in Parallels virtual environment or previously to configure a dual-boot Mac using Boot Camp. While these solutions can work they can also add cost to a Mac ecosystem. In the end the virtual machine seems to be the best option as long as your CAD application supports virtual environments.
@@ProdbyDrew. so you said we should wait a year just for a dam Software to finish development ? not to mention other software and device driver for FEM Device and LLD (Finite Element Method and Laser Leveling Device) with built in 3D scan couldn't work with Mac, and don't give people a Pain just because you love it when people Buy Apple Device.

I wish I had seen this video 3 years ago when I got my laptop. I got a gaming laptop, the Dell G7. It definitely is powerful but the battery life is awful so that means I have to lug around this gigantic charger everywhere which is frustrating. The battery life at full power is only like 1 and a half hours while doing LIGHT tasks. Very annoying. It also has this problem with the fan where it just keeps blowing randomly like it’s a passenger jet about to take off. Really embarrassing when you’re at the library. Anyways rant over but thanks for the video Anna!
I'm an Ethiopian mechanical engineering student and right now in Germany as an exchange student in HKA and since my former PC is running too slow especially when I open Ansys 😂 I'm thinking of buying. Danke😊
I am soooo glad I watched this video before getting my laptop. I had been looking for one for about a month, and just when I was going to give up looking, I found this. So I guess what I am trying to say is... great video, I'm subscribing!
Hi Anna, this is an excellent video! Thank you so much for making it! I don’t know if you made this response to my question in the comments of one of your earlier videos, but I’m choosing to believe so 😁. Anyway, you brought up a lot things I hadn’t thought about such as the screen material and the webcam location. I’m still shopping so this is really perfect timing for me. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work!
I'm an Electrical Engineering student, and an honest advice from me, don't get macOS if you use it for engineering tasks. If you use it for daily life is fine, but not for professional works. Even if you install windows on Mac, the performance is not as good as Windows. I intensely tried M1 MacBook Pro for one month, and this is my conclusion. It will be a pain in your as*.
Completely not true. I am an electrical engineer. My M2 Ultra Mac Book Pro runs Windows 11 using Parallels much faster than my Windows Surface Pro runs Windows natively. That’s true even when running MacOS in a second window.
If you're going to do engineering stuff and seeking similar video like this to justifying your decision to buy MacBook, you're just wasting your time and get a windows laptop.
I am student in a french Engineering School and I bought an M1 MBA the year before, almost no regret of my choice : my battery life is way longer than my mates using Windows laptops and I can charge it through usb-c whereas others often have proprietary charging port (they’re in pain when they forgot their adapters). Moreover my M1 MBA is silent (low heat and no fan) and has good performances, even in a Windows VM (but not as good as M1 optimized programs). And for specific heavy softwares like CATIA, we use the desktop machines in dedicated rooms or for remote work, the school gives us an access to a VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) under windows 10 gathering all the softwares we need. But I prefer the physical desktop machines because interfaces are smoother than the one’s through vdi. But I recognize that 13 inch display can be painful for eyes when focusing on details.
future mechanical engineering student, gonna be going into uni soon and loved watching this!! thank you som much :) (also what sweater are you wearing it’s super cool 😭)
Thank you so much for this!! I’m just about to start my first year of Chemical Engineering and this is exactly what I needed to know what to look out for 😊
Well I have got a Lenovo ideapad L3 which in the beginning was not what I really wanted ! But I empowered it ! it is a 15 inch one ! with a 1T HDD, RAM : 4GB + 4GB ( I added myself ) 1 Kingmax PCI SSD 256 GB ! and Now it works very well and is trully enlightened! I have installed a lot on it ! any design-platform you may use in Mechanical engineering
i was looking at this one, all you had to do was install extra ram and it ran fine for most things? i just need it for light coding right now because i’m only in my first year
The only engineers that profit from macs are SW engineers. Everyone else is better off with windows machines. I hope devs start developing more stuff for macs because those laptops are realy next level.
Third year mech e student here. This is my second time going through this laptop search as my dell xps 15 9500 recently quit life on me for the second time. Already replaced the motherboard on the device for $300 and with it quitting again I decided I’d rather fork out the money for a new more reliable laptop rather than gamble on this one. It was only 2 years old and I’m writing to say go with a Microsoft laptop instead the xps reliability is a joke imo
I would recomend Lenovo Thinkpad or Legion as it's a multi-purpose laptop and fits my budget. Apple laptops are suited more for business people and people who use DTP apps. I got a Macbook when working for office as a temp but had lot of limitations such as VPN and 3rd party apps.
What about the numpad? I though it was essential since numeric data entry was common as ME major. Also, what do you think about the Dell XPS or Thinkpad T16? Thanks for the informative video. Looking forward to going to college this fall
That's the first time I hear this. I don't think a numpad is necessary at all and I don't even have one at work, nor does anyone I know. You just become fast at typing numbers with the keyboard
Thank you for making my distrust on mac or windows as i am a mechanical engineering student and you made my expense smaller than i had for mac. once again thank you ~from INDIA 🇮🇳
Seems like you have helped a lot of people including me! Very informative and helpful video. I will definitely take your points into consideration. Thank you!!!😊😊
Excellent video! Is it better for mechanical engineering students to have one laptop or both a laptop and a desktop? A lot of people say laptops get very noisy when doing heavy work load and having to listen to that fan noise for hours a days feels like a pain, on the other side desktops are way quieter and more powerful?
I'd say a laptop is sufficient and more practical since you're likely to work both from home and uni a lot and can easily bring your work anywhere you need to. I haven't really had any issues with loud fan noises but if you're more sensitive to that and have a large budget, you can of course always get a desktop for at home. I just don't think it's necessary and you'd need to make sure to always be able to access your files from both devices.
if youre in eng with no windows desktop at home, get an xps. i have an m1 pro and its serving me well. i do also have a desktop at home which I use for cading. my campus also have computers with cad programs as well. so in my situation I just wanted to get a laptop which will last me forever, it didn't matter which one it was and the mac just turns out to be the best in longevity, easily outlasting any windows platform laptop.
Sure! My work laptop is a Dell Precision 5540, in university I had an Asus Zenbook (not sure which exact model) which I was pretty happy with, and two other laptops I recommend for mechanical engineering are the latest generations of the HP ZBook Studio and the Lenovo Thinkpad P1.

Hi Anna, I am a Mechanical Engineer. I will begin my masters studies in France on Erasmus+ Scholarship. I will hopefully be using Python, MATLAB and 3D modelling and simulation software but I have tight budget of around 750$. Which laptop do think would be good for me in this range. I have found a laptop (Dell Vostro 3520 i7 12th gen, 8gb ram, 512 SSd, 2 gb nvdia MX550 graphics card, 15.6" display with WVA technology). Please share your opinion on this laptop. Thanks.
With dad jokes and noise cancelling headphones 😉 But jokes aside, for work I would only consider joining teams that have other women in them. From my experience, the more balanced the team, the less gender matters and the more we can just focus on the engineering. And at school I wouldn't worry about it as long as there's a couple of other women since we tend to stick together and support each other 🙂 And finally, even if you get told otherwise, remind yourself that you belong and that you're just as capable 🔥
Thank you so much. I’m a french mechanical professor and you’re video is good. I’ m tired of watching video where random tech youtubers recommand macbooks for students. It’s a very bad idea in our field.
You could use a gaming laptop for mechanical engineering but you're likely gonna be overspending on the GPU since the graphics are a lot more important for gaming than for computer aided design and other mechanical engineering programs. So I would go for a decent graphics card but nothing unnecessarily good.
Hi, is the New Intel Ultra processor with Intel Arc Graphics (integrated graphics) enough ? Or should I go for Dedicated Graphics ? Also if iam getting OLED panel in budget should i go for it ??
my concern for hp is anti-right to repair, lenovo being that the batteries wear out oddly fast, asus has some overreaching reliability issues - they seem mostly in other lines not laptops though, and then dell seems like a nice spot but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Framework is also interesting but new, and also lenovo is from an older laptop but the battery I bought could've been on a shelf a while. Haven't had a hp or asus laptop though
Does anyone know if i should get a macbook or windows laptop for software engineering? I can’t seem to find an answer to my question anywhere. Thanks! Also great video!💛
hey! glad that i stumbled upon your vid, i'm gonna be a year 2 ME student in mid april , currently i have an acer travelmate for about 3 years already, it runs autocad slower and could not manage both autocad and inventor, do you have any suggestions for budget-friendly laptops? thankyou for creating this video!
Hey guys, I just bought a macbook pro for mechanical engineering because my old windows laptop keeps crashing. Should I return it and get xps 15 instead ? Please reply and lemme me know.
@@pie.cinnamon I've bought a second hand lenovo with 4 gb ram and it doesn't have such problems (I've only reinstalled Windows 10).

Never buy Mac😂They just dont work if you are in engineering school.
Dell is the default pc in the world
honestly i just want an excuse for my parents to buy me an alienware laptop hahhaa.
Anna help meeeee i want a 13th gen laptop for mechanical engineering what should I buy great vid btw 🫂
Thank you so much. I’m a french mechanical professor and you’re video is good. I’ m tired of watching video where random tech youtubers recommand macbooks for students. It’s a very bad idea in our field.
Thank you very much for the advice ❤🙂👏This video helped me a lot
Is better to use gamming laptop for mechanical engineer ? If it so , can u pls recommend me a good one ?
You could use a gaming laptop for mechanical engineering but you're likely gonna be overspending on the GPU since the graphics are a lot more important for gaming than for computer aided design and other mechanical engineering programs. So I would go for a decent graphics card but nothing unnecessarily good.
Thank you 😊 ❤
Is asus tuf f15 i5 12500h RTX3050 good ?
I don't really care about gaming
no gaming laptops have shitty battery life. Try the Lenovo ThinkPad P series OR Dell Precision
Ich habe aufgehört, MAC zu verwenden und bin zu Dell XPS gegangen - Ihre Präsentation ist ausgezeichnet
2:28.. download and run aswell. CFD simulation for example takes up too much space
What about Apple macboom 15 inch come with 6gb graphics card
For ME don't buy any apple laptops
Apple are not meant for streaming on live, many of STEM applications nor FEM analysis simulation or geared toward many mechanical engineers.
I also selected mechanical engineer as my future ⚙️
Amazing, good luck!
Hi, is the New Intel Ultra processor with Intel Arc Graphics (integrated graphics) enough ? Or should I go for Dedicated Graphics ? Also if iam getting OLED panel in budget should i go for it ??
my concern for hp is anti-right to repair, lenovo being that the batteries wear out oddly fast, asus has some overreaching reliability issues - they seem mostly in other lines not laptops though, and then dell seems like a nice spot but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Framework is also interesting but new, and also lenovo is from an older laptop but the battery I bought could've been on a shelf a while. Haven't had a hp or asus laptop though
Does anyone know if i should get a macbook or windows laptop for software engineering? I can’t seem to find an answer to my question anywhere. Thanks!
Also great video!💛
Hi, does Intel Ultra 7 155H ok? (Instead of Ryzen 7 or intel core i7) 😃 I will start my class in few days and need the laptop tomorrow 🥲
What if you install Rosetta 2 on a Mac? Will you be able to run windows based software?
You sure about 8 gigs ram ? I would think that 16 to 32 gigs with CAD

Heya herumurti.
Hello Girl Mechanical Engineer Have Mathe Matics
hey! glad that i stumbled upon your vid, i'm gonna be a year 2 ME student in mid april , currently i have an acer travelmate for about 3 years already, it runs autocad slower and could not manage both autocad and inventor, do you have any suggestions for budget-friendly laptops? thankyou for creating this video!
I recommend MSI thin 15
I have an asus tuf gaming and it's been ok for me
What mouse would you recommend
❤
Btw y r cute
Hey guys, I just bought a macbook pro for mechanical engineering because my old windows laptop keeps crashing. Should I return it and get xps 15 instead ? Please reply and lemme me know.
What did you end up doing?
Superb ✨
THANK YOU!!! I NEEDED THIS VIDEO...Subscribed! :))
Thank you, glad I could help :)

Well my 4gb ram lenovo cant even open a search browser its get heated up very fast and then screen freezes so pls get a laptop over 8gb ram

@@pie.cinnamon I've bought a second hand lenovo with 4 gb ram and it doesn't have such problems (I've only reinstalled Windows 10). Yes, it heats while watching youtube on 1080 and higher resolution, but also does my old asus with windows 7 and 6 gb ram. Maybe you'll need to clean it's cooling system and replace termal paste on the processor
@@funflevel676 no I gave it to service multiple times and they already done thess
Love you too 😘
