If you would like to run Engineering software packages on your computer, we strongly recommend a Windows-based laptop. Many students carry their laptops in their backpack all day long and you want something that won't weigh you down.

When choosing a laptop, you should look for something that you will be comfortable using extensively and carrying around with you for long periods.
