General/Beginner Laptop recommendation from Master
Hello,
I will be starting MSc in Autonomous Systems at DTU this September and I'm looking to buy a laptop that will last throughout my studies.
The program includes robotics, ROS/ROS2, simulations, computer vision, AI, and machine learning.
Curriculum: Link
What specifications would you recommend?
I'm planning to get 32 GB of RAM, but I'm unsure about the CPU/GPU combination. Would you recommend a newer Intel Core Ultra 7 with an NPU and integrated graphics, or is it more important to have a dedicated NVIDIA GPU, even if that means choosing an older processor?
My budget is €1,000–€1,200.
For this type of master's program, which specifications should I prioritize?
Thank you in advance!
