Hi sorry, unrelated - can I ask what your predicted grades were when you applied for PDE at glasgow? I am an international student taking A levels, so was wondering what they typically look for.

Congrats! 🎉 For Product Design Eng, go for a touchscreen laptop with pen, i5/Ryzen 5+, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD.
Budget picks: HP Envy x360, Lenovo Yoga/IdeaPad Flex, or Acer Spin 5. You’ll likely use SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Adobe apps, check uni for free licenses.
