Ill be doing a lot of coding, modeling, rendering on it for my major (mechanical engineering). So ill probably be using CAD, Inventor, etc...
-Word Processing

8_How much storage (H.D.D Capacity) do you need?
Not sure, I think 256gigs would be enough for an OS and all of my programs. Ill really want to upgrade through and get a SSD to make the performance feel extra snappy. If I were to do that, id probably settle for only 128gigs of memory to save money.
9_If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
nope

atleast 4 years

just normal dvd read/write
12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
Ive been drawn to Apple for the MBP's aesthetics/OS but i find myself rebounding now to sony/acer to reduce the cost. I want to avoid any brand thats too flashy (alienware).
13_What country do you live in?
USA
14_Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I just want the best laptop I can get without breaking the bank haha. Something that looks good but also has some power under the hood. Maybe a PC version of a macbook pro with good graphics/processing power/SSD.
Thank you so much to anyone who has suggestions. It just so hard to bite the bullet and buy a laptop when there are so many things to consider
