Laptops For engineering?

[Screaming Doggo]

So, i am going to buy a laptop for engineering. I am doing my IT engineering course in Mumbai and needed a laptop for regular college use. My curriculum deals with Java, Visual Studio, Image Processing, Internet Security, IoT designs, circuit designs and all the stuff related. So i settled on a lenovo one with  a core i5 and integrated graphics and 8 gb ram. My question is that do i need a GPU like any mobile one for my 4 year degree course? I already have a PC at home with a 1050TI and Ryzen 5 1500X. 

So, do i need a GPU in my laptop for my course? Will i get by with the integrated graphics?

naw, AFAIK. a regular one w/ igpu is fine. A dGPU would help tho,

perhaps a Ryzen 2500U or a 2700U w/ vega 8/10

You should be able to get by fine. I assume if there's ever a point you deal with demanding graphics, your class will be held in a computer lab, or you'll be able to work on it at home from your desktop

yeah you should be fine

Just do homework on your desktop.

The ideapad 330s comes with a core i5 8250u with 2gb amd radeon 540. This is the 15inch one. There is a 14 inch one with only the core i5 and igpu for less. So what is the difference between a 14 and a 15 inch one and what should i go for?

Basically the same - larger display and heavier weight+larger footprint

What is the difference between the core i5 8250u and the core i5 8265u? I have seen two laptops but could not identify the difference between them

So the lenovo ideapad 330s should be good right? I will be adding an ssd in it. And are these laptops user upgradable? Can i open it up myself without voiding the warranty and add an ssd in it?

Yes (for the budget)

 

RAM and SSD are upgradable. Usually warranty will not void unless you damage something, anyway you need to check with customer support in your country
