Parents are going to help me buy a laptop this summer for college? I've found articles online but nothing that was up-to-date and helpful. As far as budget goes just keep it average/moderate. Not a pile of junk. Not made out of solid gold either.

What type of computer should I have for college if I'm studying electrical engineering?

best laptop for college electrical engineering image

Dylan

I am heading to college and am going to be studying electrical engineering. The computer I currently have is outdated so I need a new one for college. What type of computer is best to handle the coursework for electrical engineering?

Answer
I suggest getting a decent laptop (at least dual core with 4Gb ram and 256Mb+ onboard video), make sure it's not too flashy looking since you are going to college and theft can be a problem in some. I also suggest getting an external hdd for at home so you can backup your work nightly in case something were to happen like damage or theft, that way you don't fall behind if something were to happen.

Make sure the onboard video is at least 256Mb because you will likely have to use some sort of CAD like program to make schematics as a project. Windows 7 with 4Gb ram or Vista with 6 to 8 Gb ram should be sufficient to run anything they have as part of the course. Maybe check with the college when you start to see if they have laptops that you can buy with sufficient working capabilities for your course, in some cases they may have discount prices for students. You usualy have the first week of class to get all the gear and supplies requiered, so shop around and compare prices....
