Will this laptop be good for my Mechanical Engineering degree?
I've just got a laptop for my engineering corse and wanted to see if anyone could double check that the specs are suitable to run cad software etc? Thank you

I don't think you need a particularly great spec to run CAD software, and at university you are probably quite unlikely to be making large and complicated assemblies, or advanced rendering that might post a challenge for computers.
I don't think I knew anyone who actually ran CAD on their own computer either during my degree; as far as I am aware, we just used the university computers.
