[@ghaithghazi6748]

Sorry but the intro was so Cringy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RiverTechJess]

thanks but i think i'm hilarious

[@ishaansati6078]

Could be if someone else does it but I think she can pull it off just fine.

[@RiverTechJess]

Thank you Ishaan!

[@Chapoooo23]

I thought it was kinda funny

[@daisywithers6277]

SAME!! I'm like, "noo girl. stop."

[@samanthagalan4334]

4:40 if you just want the list of laptops

[@justinfuzzyhat]

Joke's on you, I already have terrible posture. Give me the heaviest laptop you got😂

[@bravosix8171]

👍

[@franciscoguardado5701]

You are great! I’m from Boston, Ma. Story: I was pushed by my dad to take Nursing but after so many courses and get in the program I failed during this spring. I got so depressed but my friends from college cheered me up and convinced me that’s not the end so they told me to see this as a 2nd Opportunity and follow what I loved. Since high school I wanted to become an engineer either in mechanical or software (programmer) so they told me at school that many of my courses count for the 💻🔬program and then go to e.g. Umass for 2 more years to get my bachelors in again mechanical or programmer and that’s what I’m doing. I start next week for 2 part of Summer. Many blessings

[@superEriccui]

I don't mean to shit on your face, but the fact of the matter is if you failed nursing, I don't know if you are going to do so well in an engineering course.

[@franciscoguardado5701]

Eric Cui I don’t mean to shit on your face but I did fucking great in Nursing classes (regarding the theory) the reason I consider I failed was because when classes were over I did not see myself working in hospitals or Other health care facilities. Then I turned my attention to computer engineering and I talked to many people from different colleges and it just felt right. Good bye.

[@tamamemad2479]

Francisco Guardado well good luck do what you love. u got 1 year to go 👍🏼👍🏼

[@connor8560]

I am starting engineering in september 2019 and i will need a laptop soon. This video is very helpful thank you

[@fortnitekostyk6512]

same

[@Armand__]

Same. I'm doing Aerospace, you?

[@alpborakirte801]

Bob could you able to pick one?

[@vanessam157]

@@Armand__ How's aerospace going?👀

[@Armand__]

@@vanessam157 broooo. It's intense, I spend more than 20 hours a week studying. Luckily I enjoy math and physics and I sometimes enjoy studying so that's good, but I'll be even busier when I join the school rocketry or satellite club. If you go into it it'll be good to find older mechanical or aerospace students and ask for tips and tricks cuz they're wise and pretty reliable. Be ready to work, falling behind in class is your worst nightmare, but being ahead is the best thing you can do.

[@DarkAdamShun]

OMG PERFECT TIMING - CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR AN ENGINEERING LAPTOP

[@orangejuicica3299]

Ray why ? So far the requirements she listed matches the requirements for my engineering department

[@KenoshaCaptures]

"i DiDnT sEe YoU tHeRe"

[@RiverTechJess]

lol

[@AngelNjoku]

I have the HP Envy with 1 terabyte. I'm not an engineer yet, but I will start engineering courses this fall as a freshman at Columbia U, so I'm glad the laptop I already have made the list.

[@planet_mogwai9310]

Please tell me how it works for you. I'm starting classes in a month and I wanna make sure that if I get the envy or the spectre it works well.

[@DelusionalDev64]

How did the computer work out? Hope u can answer

[@intensemaster]

I'm glad my surface book 2 or 3 I'm getting for the start of uni made the list

[@BearCubster]

So the best engineering laptops are gaming laptops?!? Go figure!

[@mirit1103]

This video is SO helpful! I’ve been doing research on laptops for 2 hours and this was by far the best video. I really appreciate your explanation of what to look for because I had no idea lol I also love that you typed the characteristics of each laptop on screen! Thank you and great job!

[@mariamicar2214]

Thank you so much for this video!! Im starting my first year studying chemical engineering this fall and I was stressing out about buying a good laptop but now i know what to buy!

[@RiverTechJess]

Sweet! That’s great to hear:) which one do you think you’re gonna get?

[@soumayanouh4957]

Which one did you choose

[@MathiasEmilKuntz1994]

N-VI-DI-A, You're welcome.

[@RiverTechJess]

THANK-YOU I REALIZED I WAS MISPRONOUNCING IT AFTERWARDS

[@MathiasEmilKuntz1994]

nice to see you can take a bit of banther :)

[@rwilh144]

Lmao i couldn't stop thinking about that through the whole video

[@alexasullivan8159]

This is a very helpful video. Thank you. I’m going to become an aerospace engineer (hopefully) and I am a junior in highschool, but I need to save up now.

[@DanielKatundu-y8t]

I just discovered this channel and what a great video it is. As an aspiring electronics and computer engineer, it's awesome to see a fully fledged engineer take their time to help out the rest of us and whilst 🤓😎 still showing so love to the engineering profession. Go engines!

[@marsmorris1030]

I'm about to start as an engineering major and this video has been so so helpful! Thank you!!!

[@91722854]

u really are expanding ur boundaries. usually videos like these were done by laptop and portable electronics review. Nice

[@vanessalopez30]

Which one is your favorite? Also,thank you so much! I’m starting engineering on July 30

[@RiverTechJess]

I’ve only used the Thinkpad and the Microsoft surface book. The thinkpad is definitely more powerful but you can use the surface book as a tablet. I hear amazing things about the Dell XPS but as you saw, I have a Mac 😜

[@rosemarygonzales7563]

This was the best video I’ve seen for advice super informative and I was researching so I wouldn’t waste my money on a Mac

[@RiverTechJess]

Thanks so much for watching! im glad you like the video:) and I’m glad I was able to help you with your decision:)

[@sondrad8163]

Thank you, so glad I came across this video. I have two boys starting college this fall, both majoring in engineering. Was wondering what type of computer they would need.

[@viablesubtlety]

I'm using a Dell latitude E7440 .... lovin'it

[@Cflenoury]

2 minute in and I’m in love with your personality 😊

[@lilycamacho9671]

This saved my money. I was about to buy a Mac book Bc it comes with free iPods. But thank god for this video, I would have ran out of space

[@megatronondacounter]

I remember screaming in pain when my 300 mb Solidworks file won't open. Then I got a PC

[@esthefannydelacruz6516]

i should have seen a video like this when I was about to start my engineering career!

[@James_Edward59]

I definitely agree the MacBook is nowhere as good as everyone makes it seem and there are plenty of better laptops but if the Hp Envy was in this top 10 then the Hp Spectre has to be in this top 10 list also being that it is the best version Hp makes.

[@RiverTechJess]

Ahh thanks for the feedback! I’m sure everyone will appreciate trahis but if info. Is the Hp spectre the computer you have?

[@James_Edward59]

STEMinine yea I just recently got the newest version of the Hp Spectre x360 the i7-8550u with 16gb ram, 512ssd and a 4K screen and I love it not to mention it is definitely one of the best or possibly the best looking laptop out. I actually bought an Hp Envy and then upgraded to the Hp Spectre because it had better hardware.

[@WaltSorensen]

I would agree with this advice. 99.99% of everything is just faster and easier at the school Lab, plus you're not shelling out more for student editions of engineering software. People definitely should spend the same on a workstation grade Win10 laptop as they would have on a MacBook... (Mac has a reputation for stability mostly because they built on workstation quality hardware, Workstation grade Win systems are just as stable) Also all OSs need quality antivirus mac, win, Linux always need antivirus. I would say the CPU should be an i7 minimum. I got a deal on a surface book which is great, but I have run into slow processing with the i5 in Matlab with some PDE solving. I mostly use it now for taking notes in Class with the surface pen and OneNote, or for handwritten homework assignments (also using OneNote). or for remote access to the school lab from home (I don't live on campus so remote access to the school lab via VMware client has been a wonderful thing)

[@simbast9726]

do u bike to campus

[@ConspiracytardHunter420]

Kinda funny how more than a few of these are gaming laptops hahaha

[@vivienrossbach5624]

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron i7. This computer has a problem with superheating when you use Ansys. I had to fix the processor because of that.

[@engineer4269]

Great video but I have to point out that the Razer Blade Stealth doesn't have a dedicated GPU.

[@RiverTechJess]

Yes! That’s something important to consider! Thanks for pointing it out:)

[@aryanmishra5591]

2gb of DDR3 gpu is it really enough for the next four years. I was thinking of mx150.

[@matchamochi1856]

Hi, what MacBook did you use? I am currently thinking about getting a new laptop but I’m still unsure.

[@wee717]

She is no dumb blond; She is one smart girl and quite knowledgeable. She is an engineer. I like her.

[@RiverTechJess]

Thank you! I like you too:)

Me in a classroom with a 30 series graphics card, 32 GB RAM, Storage space of 4TB, Refresh Rate 240Hz, Screen size of 19.4 inches and a weight of 800g and still performing better than other students on mac books on Quiet mode producing 240 FPS no problem 😎

[@CesarLopez-qt9mo]

I love the way you film videos, regards.

[@mskuks1984]

Hi, Thanks for the video. What do you think of the 13" hp spectre for a mechanical engineering student?

[@jitendratiwari6886]

Thank you lady I am looking a good laptop for my master in simulation science . I had cervical pain I desperately need good ,and lighter laptop.

[@Kirbythediver]

Mac book failing at a excel? What's new, if only you got as much RAM as you paid for

[@Mr.EazyM_]

You’re a life savor!!! Thanks a lot. I’m a mechanical & energy engineering fresh graduate. I have been on the same Mac boat with you, and it’s time to change now. Btw, you got more attractive in my eye once you said you’re an engineer 😉

[@Behzad.Allzadeh]

Hi , please let me know which one is better for engineering software Dell Xps 15 9570 or precision 5520.

[@LinedCardinal]

Thanks for the information on what the laptop should be. I will be going into engineering next year. I would like to know what you think of the MSI GS65 Stealth laptop. Thank you for your time.

[@jhnllyz]

Do you think the HP Envy 13 or HP Pavillon Power 15 is suitable for engineering as well? About to start electronics & communication engineering in a month and desperately looking for the right laptop :(

[@daevinklassen9117]

Would you suggest a less powerful laptop and a very capable desktop or a capable laptop to do everything?

[@VidVillain]

So my question, if you had to go through it all again without the lab coms, what one would you go with? I’m in my first year.

[@daisyescalera8387]

Would any new dell XPS laptops work? I’m looking for a laptop where I can run software like AutoCAD AutoDesk inventor. I wanna be able to design some 3D models of cars and be able to do so smoothly at the moment I have a Dell Inspiron 13 2 in 1 core i7 with 16 gb of ram and 256gb would that work just as good? This came out the beginning of this year

[@gergelyfulop2451]

What do you think about the Dell g3 15"?(with i7 8750 up to 4.1GHz Gtx 1050 Ti and 256gb ssd 1TB hdd and 16gb ram)

[@gamilahsallam]

Thank you so much this was very helpful ❤️

[@Dualness]

Thanks for taking the time to post the links! 🙏

[@RiverTechJess]

Of course! Thanks so much for watching:)

[@darrenerdyan7853]

I know it's not in the list, but what are your thoughts on the Dell G7? I'm kinda leaning on this one because it's close to the Inspiron 7577 on your list. But the G7 is more or less the refreshed version

[@dilaramichel4163]

thank you very much for your great video...ı have a question...ı will go to univercity (software engeneer) at march 2019...ı have an acer aspire one 725 ultrabook... ıt is six years old...ı know its very old but ı love my ultrabook...ıf ı do modificasion on my acer ( for example to add new 512 SSD and new 1tb HDD change 2gb RAM to 16gb RAM ) Can ı use it at software engineer????? ı dont want to buy a new laptop...ı want to use my old acer again...ı m waiting your answer...thank you very much for everything again...

[@vanessav8360]

Great video thanks! I haven’t thought about this and I’m applying to engineering in the fall. I just spent all day whitewater kayaking in Palmer Rapids on the Madawaska. Being in the river makes me so happy. I’d love to see more videos about whitewater kayaking whenever you go or even just talking about it.

[@RiverTechJess]

No way vanessa! That's awesome! Do you live in ontario? I was just there in may for spring flows. maybe we can paddle together in the future:)

[@vanessav8360]

STEMinine Yes I live in Toronto but grew up in Palmer Rapids. That would be awesome to paddle together in the future.

[@markyv1997]

Something that i would recommend is getting a cheap laptop that you can bring around to class and type up reports on, then have a Desktop at home with a Quadro or AMD FirePro GPU to do the more intensive tasks like simulations in solidworks. just from experience with my GPU in my system (NVIDIA GTX760), Solidworks doesn't utilize these cards because they are meant for gaming, and this is going to happen with most of these laptops on the list above (except perhaps the dell precision because it has a Quadro built in). So if you can try to get a cheaper laptop and invest into a desktop to do your heavy workloads at home if you can!

[@temiloluwaobisesan7952]

Really awesome video. I want to ask what you think about Hp pavilion the Gaming Laptop of about 4gb Ram, gc; GeForce nvidia ....

[@itzzrayy]

I’m a software engineer student and I’m thinking of buying a Microsoft surface laptop or Microsoft surface book , which one should I buy !!

[@Siva-je3wb]

Hey, i m joining the aerospace engineering course and will an 8 gb of ram gonna be enough or will it slow down the processes? Please help me out

[@rivinduserasinghe670]

Would u recommend the new razer blade 15 rtx 2060 for a engineering student?

[@37Fabrizzio]

I’m too broke for any of these :(

[@alirazawaqar7061]

Really useful thanks

[@mtrahmy]

Would you choose the Dell i7557 or whatever it's called or the Lenovo think pad ? Starting engineering this October hopefully

[@RiverTechJess]

Honestly I'm not sure. Like I said, thinkpad is super powerful. but I got to use the school computers

[@LilmasCheerPSP]

What's your opinion on the ZenBook Pro Duo? I really want to be able to run Solidworks.

[@tutorialinformation]

What about the asus vivobook 15 pro? With 4k display and 1050 graphic card? Especially for civil engineering?

[@ezzeddinnassereddin7499]

What are your thoughts on the thinkpad p1 it is much lighter than the p52 but the gpu isn’t as good

[@yinebebtariku1617]

I have hp pavilion core i7,4GB nvidia graphics card but i didn't use this ,how i configure or run.

[@malcolmfilichia1415]

a little off put by the intro, but this was just the video I was looking for, info from an engineering student themselves

[@DashPazz]

The list is the best list I’ve seen so far on KZbin except for that asus. It’s notorious for thermal heating. I’m a Software engineering student and i7 16gb ram should be standard honestly

[@stanleysam6090]

Need a help I'm a beginner in autodesk inventor would you recommend me to go for ThinkPad t590 corei5 8th gen 8gb ram , 2gb mx250 graphic card

[@janenikiita7919]

So glad u explained importnt criteria..currently on my 2nd yr and my lappy is goin crazyy

[@imanaziz_1086]

I was wondering if the acer swift 5 would make the cut since im considering on buying it. I hope you respond bcs it would help a lot!

[@vonnuevon8600]

Iman Aziz someone on my class is using it on my solidworks class , that thing doesnt even have a dedicated gpu ,crazy but works fine.

[@fredydeekrueger169]

Who the hell is rendering a video, surfing the web, coding on matlab using excel and doing solid works at the same damn time? Anyways currently using asus Q535U and it’s overkill. If you’re in undergrad don’t go buying a 2k dollar laptop you’ll be making basic shapes and basic coding stuff. If you really need to do more I suggest just working with people on school computers.

[@BenA-bu1cz]

How about an external hard drive, Does this apply to GIS too?

[@harithalau1970]

Hi there, Nice video input and I have a question for you. I’m having trouble deciding which Surface Pro model to get :( I’m currently doing my degree(Electrical Power Engineering) and I find it very hard for me to keep up with my notes that’s why I prefer to go paperless. My current Lenovo has i5 processor, 4gb of RAM, 256gb of ssd and the surface which I'm planning to get is a Surface Pro 6 with also an i5 processor but with 8gb of RAM and 128gb of ssd. My workloads for my second year later on would vary from Spice, MATLAB and etc. So my question is, will it be worth it to get the S6? or I should just get other older surface models but with higher specs, like Surface Pro 2017 or even Surface Pro 4? Bcus I’m finding a laptop worth using for another 3years(max). Also Apple products wouldn't be a choice for me as I find it very hard to work with the ppl in my circle. Thank you, your opinions are very much appreciated😊 P.s money is a factor too :( that’s why the option of older models is included in my question

[@danielb1372]

Thanks a lot. I loved the video. Can you plz could you do this video again in two years when the new and different laptops come out. Thanks a lot

[@nirbhaysingh4360]

Hey you should make one more video about the budget affordable laptops for students around 50k. Anyway love your videos! Also I am going to buy Lenovo ideapad 330! Should I get that?

[@mohit-gs3ql]

Which laptop have you buyed?

[@martasfakeaccount2473]

hi, i need some advice to buy a new laptop :) So, next year i´ll be going to college to study product design or industrial design engineering so I´ll be using heavy duty apps but i need to take it to class everyday, so it needs to be light. It´s required to have 16 gb ram, SSD, a really good graphics card and to run windows. THANKS! :D (i was thinking on the asus zenbook or dell xps 13/15 or hp pavilion or hp envy

[@zazookhan7979]

Bieng in ME I have same story of macbook with creo and ansys etc .. I was planing to buy windows laptop but your video gives me more motive to have my macbook and do my graduation along it :D

[@mohammadrezaazary9300]

Hi which ones i can bought around 450 us daller??

[@Lowkey_tee]

So out of all those computers which one would you recommend us to buy? (Currently looking for one & struggling to find a good one)

[@abroadaspirants9558]

Good Information

[@26.yinkeomony35]

asus zenbook duo ux 481 for engineer

[@aryanmishra317]

Guys i am an engineering student and hoping if somebody can share his or her experience. Should I go with a gaming laptop or 2gb dedicated graphic is really enough for my next 7 semesters. I am really confused and dont wanna buy a gaming laptop only to realise that i dont need that much power. Thanks in advance.

[@glennangeloquidasol7995]

will i need a powerful laptop as a freshman computer engineering student or after a year or two?

[@tronghai55]

Like I said, think outside the box in semi automation cyber abs. The actual abs is old school tech but if you can implement interactive release active impulse control then you will solve the differential speed interactive ratio programming. The old school abs is a one impulse differential datas but with the cyber you can activate an adaptive interactive ratio rate programming abs. This is a new game play for a world wide invention mechanical aeronautics engineering.

[@JudgeFredd]

Which CFD software are you using for your studies ?

[@JayPrakash-mj4ik]

Is Doc operating system good for MATLAB SIMULINK program .

[@Girldoesengineering]

Can you an updated one for 2021 pleaseeeeeeee?

[@meryamle6270]

your channel is unbelievably informative

[@simoono5090]

What MacBook u had?

[@Martin-nr2xf]

I loved the video. Clarification: Is this in order of best to worst.? If so is the XPS 15 the best or worst of the top 10?

[@RiverTechJess]

No it’s not in any order:)

[@AliHaider-en8vu]

Do you use the Crack versions of ANSYS, Solidworks & Mastercam or you buy the liscenses/crack versions of engineering softwares from their recommended sites? Just asking which one are the best? Cracked one or the one we buy from Recommended sites

[@RiverTechJess]

Hey Ali. I don’t have to cracked versions or the paid version. I only use the programs on the school computers my entire undergrad.

[@kshitijsharma480]

Bruuhhh... crack...obviously..I mean..you wouldnt want to spend USD 2700 every every for the key just to use solidworks alone..would you ?? Lol..! Crack it...get the unlimited entry action key..and Bob's your uncle mate...enjoy..!!

[@hadroncollider17]

just bought on sale a thinkpad x1 extreme 6 corr i7-8850H, 2x8 gb gddr4 ram and 2x256 gb pickle ssd with geforce gtx 1050ti 4gb, but its still expensive 😭 but I’m planning on having it for at least 5 years. My engineering college’s laptop requirement’s minimum specs were stronger than my 2.7 GHz quadcore macbook pro so now Ive got two laptops

[@samarbirua8740]

Hey.. Why don't you make a video on the best convertible laptops for engineering.?

[@danielthompson165]

I hate when people just say i5 or i7 and don't say the tdp .

[@22HalVes06]

Anyone can advice on which laptop should a chemical engineering student go for?

[@raygenrogue5261]

i have Lenovo S510p it's like 5 year old now and i need new one will get after an year when i go for my Master Degree.Expecting RTX to come out on Laptop by then or i'll go with helio 300.

[@alpborakirte801]

Is these 10 laptops like 1 2 3 ... in order?

[@zachkelly6188]

Would you recommend a 13.3 inch or 15.6 inch display if you're taking Mechanical Engineering? Ps: not into video editing and such.

[@heidisiricord6290]

I'm a mech eng student and I am currently using the 15.6 inch display because I like bigger screens when doing my assignments. But it is really up to you.

Great Video! I am a total Apple fangirl. I went through my BSIE and MSIE with my MacBooks and I would do it again 😜 I did had a Windows Partition and it work very well on my Mac. I do agree with the specs you listed and if I had to choose and none Mac I would go with the Surface. Is the only non Apple product that has caught my eye so far. But so far my MacBook Pro is working fine for my PhD 😃

[@RiverTechJess]

Ya my mac worked well do. I just used a virtual desktop and didn't even partition my disk. But I would also get the surface if I had to choose non-mac:)

[@tonyboss4290]

MAc is trash and so is the companies customer service

[@pythonprofreak7522]

I used a desktop with Packard Bell Pentium 100mhz (horrendously $2400) and then AMD K62 266Mhz (custom build $1000) to get my computer science degree. My computer especially the AMD K62 with Nvidia G100 and a Voodoo card could render OpenGL frames to *.mov video file (5 to 10 hours lol). Years later, I was using Dell 8" windows tablet ($100) and my Samsung Note 4(expensive) to get my Cyber Security certificate. sometimes, I was using my Chrombook (50). Yes, I was writing Python and Java using Dell 8" tablet. I was running on online compilers to get my program results from my Note 4. Now I am finishing my MS Science using Rasbian RPI3, and HP Spectre (refurbished 700). I am running everything with Linux Mint and Ubuntu either on Live USB boot, Virtual Box and main partition. When I was at work, during free hours I am using the online compilers to complete my programs (Only limitation is Thread and Memory). What I am saying is you don't need an expensive laptop to get things done. Actually, you don't even need IDE Eclipse, Netbean and Visual Studio (this one will eats up your ram). All you need is terminal / command prompt, text editor, programming development kits . Even a cheap laptop with a decent integrated graphic card is capable to create some programs using graphics API (OpenGL, DirectX).

[@Speed001]

What type of engineering did you do? Mechanical, Civil, or what?

[@javierfernandoagudelogomez1794]

Thanks for the video. I´ve heard that Lenovo´s laptops are very low quality and the warranty is so difficult to get it with Lenovo´s customer service. ¿Does ThinkPad Series Laptops have more factory quality? and ¿How long can i expect to use it, before it breaks down?. Thanks for the advices.

[@RiverTechJess]

I think the thinkpads are different because they were actually created by IBM before Levono bought the computer form them. And that's why I think their quality is better:)

[@javierfernandoagudelogomez1794]

Thanks for answer, I´ve read in internet´s forums positive and negative reviews about Thinkpads quality (The P51 and The P71). The negative ones say that they fail for bad cooling, and sometimes the screen has some problems. Maybe those are isolated cases, and generally the Thinkpads are good quality, i don´t know, but i´d like someone who has worked with Thinkpads (P51 or P71), tell me if they´re good quality or not. I want to buy a Thinkpad (P51 or P71), but i´m not really sure of do it.

[@2320Jason]
