It also comes equipped in its latest incarnation with the very latest 11th-gen Intel processors installed and up to 16GB of RAM installed, too, meaning everything from Netflix to intensive AutoCAD work is easily handled.
Equally, portability is also important as while power is needed engineering students need to easily get to and from lectures and seminars, as well as set up shop easily in a library, coffee house or even canteen. Battery life, for example, is really important, as the last thing anyone needs is their laptop shutting down in the middle of a build. Each laptop we recommend here has the specs to go the distance.Īway from raw performance we've also factored in a few other things we think engineering students need from their laptop. This is because we feel many budget systems aimed at students, while fine to bash out an essay in Google Docs, just won't cut it in terms of an engineering student's needs. As such, while our picks of the best laptops for engineering students do contain some great, well-priced systems that we feel most learners could afford to study on a university or college, they are nowhere near as budget friendly as some of our budget recommendations for non-engineering students.
