Hi guys.. I have decided to take a computer science course for my college and I need a laptop to support my projects including cybersecurity purposes..so considering future proof hardware and not too high end specs will this one be the perfect choice for me

Or should I step down a bit and save a few bucks ?
Note: Pls do consider future internships workloads.

no, 2 people can have the same problems and choices, but the answers you are looking for are in there and really didnt require a new post about the same product for the same use scenario in my opinion.

It's not to be hostile, but more that it's unlikely people will repeat themselves in multiple threads, especially the same thread minutes apart, so do go and read it.  

 

Anyway, don't expect to be playing the latest AAA games at ultra quality, but you don't mention gaming so that'll probably be fine. CPU (which is considered high-end btw  ) and RAM should last you some time as they're basically only a year old, unless you expect to do work that frequently requires over 16 GB of memory. @Froody129 made good points in the other thread regarding the 8th gen laptops now out though, maybe you can get 6 cores for a similar price.
