Hey there, fellow students! I’m in a bit of a pickle, and I’m hoping you can help me out. With a new school year coming up, I’m struggling to choose the perfect laptop for my statistics and data science classes. I want something that will last all four years, but also has the power to handle demanding coursework.
I’ve been eyeing the Surface Pro 11th Gen, but I’m not sure if it’s the best fit. Will it be able to handle statistical computing and machine learning tasks? Or should I opt for a laptop with an Intel or AMD CPU and get an iPad separately for digital note-taking?
My main priority is to find a laptop that can keep up with my coursework without breaking the bank. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with the Surface Pro 11 or any other laptops you think might be suitable for a statistics major.
Do you have any advice for a student on a budget looking for the perfect laptop for data science and statistics?
