you should consider adding a new high-performance laptop to the list of things your college students need, particularly if they are pursuing a computer-related or other science and technology degree.
Nvidia recently provided some data on the applications typically required for STEM students and the benefit of having a high-performance laptop, especially one configured with a discrete GPU. Nvidia found that applications like Solidworks and Matlab ran 8x and 4x faster on laptops configured with an Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU over laptops using an Intel Core i7 CPU with integrated graphics.
I, unfortunately, have experienced this firsthand. After the hinges broke on my son’s laptop a few years ago, we rushed to purchase a new laptop before classes began. We were trying to adhere to similar specifications that I listed above for a thin-and-light laptop. We selected an HP model that had the met specifications and many others that would be beneficial to my son, such as higher performance audio, because he is also an event and radio DJ.
As I send my youngest son off to the university for a STEM degree, I am now shopping for not just for him but a new one for my oldest who will begin his master program in the fall. The chart below provides some of the PCs that we have found that meet these requirements. Please note that you often need to dig through all the possible system configurations to get the desired PC and to get to a final price, which is typically $1,200 to $2,000.
One other item to consider purchasing is an external multi-terabyte flash drive. Even at 1 terabyte, the average STEM student, and gamer, will likely exceed that storage limit quickly. While the high-capacity flash drives are more expensive than hard disk drives , they are a more rugged option to be bouncing around in a backpack from day to day. You can often find 1TB flash drives for around $100 and 4TB flash drives on sale in the $400 to $450 range.
While only the students can determine their success, a high-performance laptop is the most valuable tool a STEM student can have, and it just may give them an advantage both in schoolwork and in the overall college experience.
