    Laptop for engineering student

    Hi! I just got my place secured on a chemical engineering masters (5 years) so I'm looking for a 2 in 1 since I'll be writing lots of formulae/calculations that a normal laptop just will not support. Is the surface my only viable option or are there any others? Thanks!

    Graphics card too hot?

    I was playing SNOW on my R9 290X 4G from MSI and Catalyst control suite said that the GPU was at 89°c, is that too hot? I have a corsair 100r silent with 2 case fans. Thanks :)
