I am going into Engineering first year soon and am curious what I need in terms of specs for a laptop. I found this on these on the uvic website, but I saw last updated in Jan 2025, so I was concerned that it might be a bit out of date. I also saw more expansive specs for some of my friends going to different engineering schools. Does this mean I should worry about having to replace while at school? Because the biggest thing for me is attempting to avoid buying another computer if possible during my degree.

I guess the question is are these specs good enough for my undergrad? And if not what should I get instead? Plus if anyone has good advice for when/where to buy.
