I recently purchased this laptop and it is a beast! I love it! I'm a video designer and it handles the load just fine, the fan can run a tad loud sometimes but it's expected when you are pushing it's hardware the way I do, it's a great computer! I bet your son would benefit greatly from using this in college for engineering!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This computer is decent for school and the work associated with the engineering curriculum at most schools. I would like to point out to anyone considering this laptop for engineering programs that use Solidworks specifically. It is a program similar to AutoCad and Creo used by engineers/designers. The one they will use depends mostly on the school and their license. The graphics card NVIDIA 950M that comes with this laptop is not supported in Solidworks, I am not sure about the others at this time. This computer is powerful enough to run the program but certain functions like realview graphics in Solidworks are not supported. This is also not necessarily something that will be required in school but maybe something to consider if deciding between this and another laptop of similar value.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not an engineer but I would think that it would work very well with engineering programs like AutoCad and others. This laptop is packed with speed,memory, and storage
