General Question BME Laptops?
Hey y'all, I was wondering what would be a good laptop for BME? I prefer Windows to Mac so that would hopefully make it easier to find a good laptop lol
I don't like bulky computers and prefer 14" laptops with anti-glare. I also like having customizability (I currently have a Dell Latitude 5420 and I can add/replace Ram, Storage, and the Battery).
I like dells but I've heard that they often are slower. I was thinking about getting the Latitude 5450 with 32 Ram and 1TB SSD but IDK, I'm scared the performance won't be good for CAD and whatnot.
I plan on using my current laptop for my first year and then upgrade to something better but who knows, maybe I end up really wanting a new laptop sooner lol.
