what kind of laptop is good for electrical engineering students?

Answer
I survived University (graduated '06) with a desktop running office 97.

You really only need to type, and run the occasional spreadsheet. An equation editor (in Word) is sufficient.

Of course, if you've got courses using Visual Studio, Matlab, or some variation of Spice, and wish to do work at home instead of a computer lab, choose according to your software specs. Having something with a VGA output is good for giving oral presentations too.

Answer
Laptops are nice to have, but not necessary to complete your engineering course.

millions of people went through electrical engineering without laptops, before PCs were invented, including me. There were no small hand-held calculators until after I was in college. I, and others, used slide rules.

You may well find someone to donate you a laptop, but if not, have confidence. You can make it as millions before.

Good luck in finding one.

What kind of laptop for an electrical engineering student?

Kevin Ruiz

I'm an electrical engineering student I'm looking on buying a laptop. Should I get a Mac book or a PC I'm having trouble picking which one. What are the benefits for each one. Also, can I run windows software such as LogixPro500 PLC simulator on Mac? If so how. Please be as detailed as possible! Thanks!!!

Answer
I'd recomend asking your professors or upper classman. Many engineering schools require specific capabilities in their students pcs (The one at my school requires that you purchase an eleven hundred dollar tablet due to the fact it's the only system that supports the modeling software.) and it would suck to by a computer and then go buy another for your program.

As far as my personal opinion on computers, PC beats MAC every time. Not because it's universally better, but because nintey percent of documents and presentations are created and saved as Microsoft office. It's the best word processing, spreadsheet edditing, and presentation software readily available to your average consumer. And thus it's the industry standard.
