Notes:
Hi! In the process of buying a laptop for college that will last all 4 years and beyond. So for I've been considering the ASUS G16, Lenovo yoga pro 9i, and possibly a thinkpad ( though not sure which one to get). Money really isn't much of a factor but reliability is important to me and I feel like the ASUS would struggle in that department? Seems like the yoga pro 9i might have a much shorter battery life though reliability should be good.
Going in as a mechanical engineering major so would like something with significant power for solid works and such, but also good battery life and portability for on campus traveling. Maybe there is an option I'm not considering? Love apple and MacBooks but feel that there would be too many Software compatability issues for engineering, though I could see myself buying one for personal use later on out of college when workplaces typically provide a laptop for you. Want it to be fast and efficient with little lag and loading times overall. There are desktops available but I don't want to have to rely on those.
