Laptop Specs for Electrical Engineering

Computer specs and system requirements for electrical engineering students. What kind of computer do you need? How much RAM? How much processing power? We discuss in this video.

Hey man, I’ve been following your channel for the past few weeks and you solidified my desire to go into EE. You’re truly are underrated, keep it up 💪🏼

[xaverpfk]

Thanks for charing your experience. It is matching my exp. pretty much. Especially helpful for people starting with EE.

8 GB wouldn’t be enough for a smooth experience though. You’d have to budget what’s running, and sometimes, you want some apps running at the same time. I have multiple tabs and windows open, and it’s often hitting the 16 GB ceiling :(

[ElvinAsadov.]

You are great, Ali, I am so happy for your effort

[kombuijoshua]

Thanks for the heads on the software. I really appreciate that ❤ …

I feel like ECAD Software and SPICE simulation software should also be on that list... that raises the requirements quite a bit. You don't want Altium Designer or Simulink with a slightly heavier model runnning on an 8GB RAM machine

What about linux ? Have you used it ?
I used it for some time and I liked the freedom of customizability. May be I was just wasting my time. But I went back for games.

Do you think it would benefit me to use linux if I'm planning on working in embedded systems.
I'm currently 2nd year ELE.

Bro, , I am a student of EEE and I have never used any Apple’s products. Now, my confusion is which laptop I have to buy, is that is macebook or
Please, , tell me brother..

And I was thinking of 16gb for simulation software in the background and gaming (during breaks) as minimum RAM so my PC don't stutter at all.

I actually would suggest getting at least a 2GB dGPU (for laptop) and if you can afford a 4-6GB dGPU would be REALLY GREAT!

I have had times when a couple of my programs crashed or just did not work smoothly because I did not have a dGPU. So you might not need the dGPU power at all times but when you need it, you will have it if you get a computer with a dGPU.

Great video(s) Ali!

Still finding for a laptop that have great gpu for CAD and fully upgradeable laptop 😥

[Whoamme]

What graphics card in InTel and AMD should be the bare minimum considered for simulation and other softwares? Is intel Arc370M good?

[jsjsjjsshw]

Can you suggest one for Physics Undergrads too ?

[justadude]

I will be honest, I don't take any notes. I found out my first (HARD learned lesson) year that I never look at my notes, so I just cut it as a time waste and spent more time doing HW

[maquinasproductivass.der.l]

64GB memory Ram?, With that I could run my freeCAD faster than ever (like a squirrel) and don't say about TIA Portal 😎😎.

[Axmd]

If you were to learn a new subject from what is your note taking process or your general learning system? I’ve heard memorization is a poor proxy for understanding. I can regurgitate what I’ve learned but not contribute. Do you have a video on this? Thanks

Is Lenovo Thinkpad X395 laptop enough? It's AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Pro, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSB?

[ConfidenceVictor-zcrh]

Please sir, as an undergraduate electrical engineering student, is laptop a compulsory property for me?

i5 1335U 16gb vs i5 13500H 8gb please guide which is better for ece
