Looking for laptops with good performance, battery life, should last at least 5 years, smooth for coding and other CSE related stuff, 16GB RAM 512 GB SSD minimum, no heating issues and fan issues...

Or just tell me which laptop you use if you're in cse 🥹

Same as title... I think it's after the choice entry closes but i still need some confirmation... I want to remove few options so yk yk 🥹

Same as title. Do they even allow laptops in class?

Anyways, give some good laptop suggestions (16GB RAM 512GB SSD Core i5/intel i5/AMD Ryzen 5 and above, preferably having that 'H' suffix in the CPU type, light weight). Or just let me know which laptop you use, if it's in a good condition lol.

Same as title. My initial choice was BMSIT but i really have a bad feeling about its huge intake for CSE core branch.

Do NOT recommend me ANYTHING of DELL. I'm buying a new laptop because of my Dell Vostro 3590 which crashes even if I open 5+ tabs in chrome. Also has several fan issues and heats up a lot. I also have a Latitude, which works good, but the battery life lasts only for 3-5 hours unfortunately.

Must have intel i5 / Ryzen 5 and above.

Must be 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and above.

Less heating/fan issues.

I also need your opinion on **MacBook Neo** and **Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5** 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD which has two versions(?) 1. AMD Ryzen 5 7530U AND 2. 13th Gen core i7 1355U.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Seniors, i would love to get some suggestions for laptops under 80k-90k. I'm currently joining a tier-2 college for CSE core. Here are things I'm pretty much looking for in a laptop:

- 16GB RAM

- 512GB SSD

- intel i5/Ryzen 5 and above

- hopefully a little light weight. (Less than 1.75kg)

- mainly for coding, editing, bit of gaming maybe, and clip art studio/krita (digital art).

- less heating/fan issues (I have enough trauma with my previous laptop).

P.S. do NOT recommend me ANYTHING of DELL. I have a Latitude, a Vostro, and a shitload of hate towards my Vostro. Heating issues, fan issues, lags, heavy weight even though it's not even meant for gaming-- you name it. Latitude was working fine, but the battery life is definitely smaller than my patience.

I also need your opinion on MacBook Neo and Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 16GB RAM, 512GB, SSDwhich has two versions(?) 1. AMD Ryzen 5 7530U AND 2. 13th Gen core i7 1355U

Thanks in advance!

i just want to make a choice based on the placements and academics. btw, what are the chances that i can get into hostel? my home is 1.25 hrs away from BIT, so is it worth travelling for at most 3 hrs, considering bangalore traffic? i got 10k rank in KCET, 16k in COMEDK. i might get BIT AI/ML, right?

Hi, I'd like some sugestion/advice from seniors. I'm planning to join BMSIT for CSE this year through KCET (I got 10XXX rank, GM). Honestly, I've gone through most of the Reddit posts criticising the college, and I've felt the same for a long time. I could go for BIT instead, but it's far from where I live, i.e. 1.5 hrs (with BLR's sweet traffic) from home, and BMSIT is just 10 mins from home. I could stay at the hostel if I go to BIT, but my parents prefer a college in BLR that is at most 45 mins from home, and they really want me to stay at home (I'm a girl, so you may know why). I also have SIT ECE as one of my options, but I don't really want ECE. Then why is it one of my options? Tumkur is just 1.25hrs from my home, so my parents are alright with it, as they can visit me in the hostel quite easily, I guess?? Idk, my dad's cool with it. 😭

Anyways, I'm choosing a college mostly based on the placements and academics.

So... If your answer is BIT, then how tf do I convince my parents to send me there, and what are the chances that I may get hostel there? 😭

And if your answer is BMSIT, convince ME to join the college. 🙏🏻

(I apologise in advance if someone was offended by this post)

Hi seniors, KCET '26 student here. I have a few queries about the branch change. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. Currently, I have a good chance of getting the ECE/AI-ML branch, and I was thinking about shifting to CSE later on.

- how much CGPA should I have to be able to shift from AL-ML or ECE to CSE?

- how is the vacancy in the branch or during the branch shift?

- what are the other factors that are considered while shifting?

- when does the branch shift usually take place?

- what is the extra amount to be paid for the shift?

- is it really worth shifting from AI-ML OR ECE to CSE?

- what are the chances that it may happen even if I have an excellent CGPA?

Thank you in advance! Have a great day/evening!

I'm just curious, but do HEALTH fans even exist in South or South-East Asia? I don't think I've ever come across a fan of HEALTH who lives in South Asia / South-East Asia. Especially from my country, where people barely listen to Industrial Metal or even Metal in general. Is there anyone else out there in Asia who enjoys HEALTH, or is it just me??? 😭

I don't vent usually, but I don't know what's going to happen to me soon. Every time my parents fight, I'm the reason behind it. Yesterday, my aunt called, told my dad that he should've pushed me a little harder so that I could've studied well. And my mum, being sensitive and... I don't know, she took it to heart, started talking to my dad about my future and my brother's future as soon as he woke up, and now he's pissed. He's been crying, screaming and shouting at my brother and me, saying that it's all my fault that this happens. I mean- it is my fault, right? I should have worked harder. I should have pushed myself to the point where I was physically weak, haha... at this point, I just want to kill myself. I have a loving brother, bf and friends who support me, but... I don't know how to live anymore. I feel disgusted, ashamed, and guilty about myself. I just... want to do it. take a burden off their shoulders, you know? Last time they found out that I almost did it, he slapped me. Maybe this time he won't slap me if I actually do it :)
