Question Mechanical Engineering Laptop

[Deathbug]

Good day everyone.

Looking to purchase a laptop as a 3rd year mechanical engineering student. Not sure which laptop to go for since I do not play games, but I will be working with (solid works(mainly simulations but not too intensive) ,python etc.). What budget laptops (preferably under 16000 zar) should help make mechanical engineering a bit smoother?

Regards
Vincent
