Hi Guys, I live in Australia and I am planning to study Software Engineering in 2021. I am looking to buy a new laptop for me with the aim to last at least the whole duration of the course and maybe a little bit longer. I am set to buy an i5 processor device or equivalent in the AMD range which I think is the Ryzen series.
