Hello
I am an electronics engineering student. I need a laptop for my college work. Most of my work will be based on MATLAB SIMULINK, Xilinx and some similar virtualisation softwares (Not VMware). I am not a heavy gamer and neither do I engage myself in heavy graphics work.
I would require some help on deciding which config (esp the CPU) to go for.
Would i5 (3rd Gen) with 8GB RAM serve my purpose or should I go for an i7 (3rd Gen) with 8 GB RAM?
Would i7 be an overkill?
Thank you.
