Hello,
I am in the market for a new laptop as I am going to be going into a material engineering program next fall, but I need a new computer now.
It needs to be able to run various 2D and 3D modeling programs, gaming here and there, and also be somewhat portable. Battery life isn't a HUGE thing but obviously the longer the better.
I'm not averse at all to upgrading components myself if it would save me money. For example, if I can upgrade the ram myself instead of having it prebuild, same hard drives, GPU, CPU, etc. I'm decently in touch with computer hardware construction.
Any suggestions are very much welcome, I would like to keep the price to have an upper bound of 1.5K if possible.
Thank you!
