Hey guys. I am a graduate student and I am studying electrical engineering in VLSI design. A lot of my school work is focused around projects based on simulations on Cadence, Gem5 (simulator of virtual processors), report writing, web browsing and lots of coding. I am looking for laptop that could handle these tasks smoothly and have good battery life. My budget is 800 bucks. What kind of laptops should I look into? dual core / quad core, 4 Gb/ 8 Gb, SSD or HDD. I will be using both Windows 10 and ubuntu in the same laptop.
Thanks in advance.
