I just finished my first year at NC State University studying Engineering. If you're studying engineering, get something with power behind it. I'd go with the Dell XPS 15 or MacBook Pro 14" if you're running CAD, MATLAB, or anything heavy. Both handle demanding software without lag.
For something more affordable but still solid, the Lenovo Legion 5 runs most tools fine and gives you dedicated graphics.
Avoid low-power laptops. You’ll regret it once the projects start piling up. Hopefully this helps someone.
