9 Best Laptops for Mechanical engineering students in India 2021

This is The Mechanical post and today you will be reading about the best laptops for mechanical engineering students in India 2021 for every budget.

Being a Mechanical engineer myself, I know that having a good laptop saves a person lots of time and effort.


Best laptops for mechanical students in India 2021

The covid-19 pandemic has shaken the educational system and the need for having a good laptop have never been higher.


No matter what lies ahead, your student and professional life will surely revolve around this piece of tech, whether it's researching, playing games, or preparing reports.


So we have gone through the extensive process of selection so that you don't have to. This list showcases the 9 best laptops for mechanical students under a wide range of budgets.

Be it as a gift for a mechanical engineer, as a replacement for your old laptop, or for a student just starting his/her mechanical career this list has got you covered.

This list of laptops is not only suitable for mechanical engineers, but also for in general for other engineering branches. You can call it the 9 best laptops for engineers.


We can't stress this enough that having a good laptop can save a lot of time and effort.


Why does a mechanical student need a laptop?

We as mechanical engineers, need a laptop be it for 3D modeling or preparing reports for projects, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), assignments, and much more.

First, we'll see a buying guide that will help you choose a good laptop for you and then our list of the best laptop for mechanical engineers.

If you want to skip reading the detailed explanation, you can jump to the list of the 9 best laptops. 

And at the end, you can find detailed specifications with the pros and cons of each laptop to help you select the right machine according to your needs. 


Laptop buying guide for mechanical engineering students

The following are the specs or buying tips you must consider before buying any laptop for yourself.

1. Size and weight. 

Being a mechanical student, we have to go from one class to another. From class to lab, or lab to the workshop, a student doesn't sit the whole time in college. 

So it is good to have a laptop small and compact so that it fits your backpack as well as be light in weight so that it would be less burden carrying around.

So an ideal size and weight would be a 14''inch screen size laptop with around 1.5kg weight.

2. Display.

It is the place where you will be staring all the time using your laptop and for a mechanical engineering student when using designing and modeling software color accuracy is quite important. 

Also, when watching videos, movies, or online lectures, a good display is necessary.

A look for at least a full HD IPS display. An OLED or QLED display is good but is expensive. Don't opt for a TN or VA panel as they have terrible viewing angles and don't have good color reproduction.

3.RAM. 

As mechanical students, we come across heavy-weight software like Autocad inventor, Ansys, Solidworks, Catia, etc which require a good amount of power.

So look for a minimum of 8GB ram. Although we recommend 16GB ram to be a little future proof. If not, you can check out a laptop that you can upgrade to 16GB later on.

4.Processor 

Intel or AMD you can opt for any brand you want but, the processor must have 4 or more core and the boost speed must be above 3.6GHz at least.

The more the cores and the faster the speed of the core, the better is the processor.

On a budget go for 4 cores and if you can afford you can opt for 6 or 8 cores according to your workload. If you are dealing with assemblies with around 100+ parts in 3D modeling, then you must opt for 8 cores minimum.

5.Graphics.

All that you see on your screen is due to the graphics card. Now a days many laptops come with integrated graphics but try avoiding them. Opt for a dedicated graphics card as it would boost the performance.

Look for at least a 2GB dedicated graphic card. However, now a days 4GB has become the baseline.

The minimum we recommend is a 4 GB dedicated graphics card of Nvidia 1650 or 1650 super.

List of laptops for mechanical engineering students

Given below is the list of the laptops for mechanical engineering students in descending order of their price. 



You might be thinking after reading this that why I've included gaming laptops extensively in the list.

The reason is that I have preferred performance while making this list so that you can complete your work smoothly.

The ultrabooks are usually light in weight. But a disadvantage is that they come with a very basic graphic card i.e MX 250 or MX 350 for the same price as that of the gaming laptop.
