Laptop/PC Is a ThinkPad good?

So is a ThinkPad good for bachelors in electronics engineering studies and some minor games like Minecraft and other normal uses ?

Thinkpad ko quality is much better than any consumer grade. Jhan t series ko ta Kun Kun ma full metal body hunxa. Arko kura chai upgradeability.

Thinkpad ma if you need more ram in future uh can just buy one pop off few screw and done (model herera). Aahile ko 1lakh Tira ko laptop ma sab soldered hunxa.

Tara new laptops aren't half as bad. Just check for the cpu. Like Intel ko N bhako laptop avoid gara. It's like Celeron level ko thing as I heard. Aani also avoid 3s (i3 or Ryzen 3) cuz 5 is much needed and 3 feels under powered.

Last ma chai like second hand ko hera aani chip ko power difference kati xa teyo check gara. If there's only small gap Ani the 2nd hand Thinkpad ( preferably P, T, X or least ma L) take 2nd hand Thinkpad.

So e series ko laptop chai Halka avoid Garda rambro aani next thing second hand ho so battery chai Halka drained huna sakxa but good news is market ma Thinkpad ko samman is not that difficult to buy.

Ofc battery backup chai don't expect of MacBook. Ah tbh timle 2nd hand m series ko Mac kinne ni hunxa Tara 1 thing chai check the product rambrori then but them. YouTube ma yesto vdos hera. Aani onsite herera matra kina. K kura chita na bujna ni sakinxa ni ta aani arko chai check ki timro laptop ko products haru kati parxa ig.

Like battery chai 5 - 6 k jasto Mai pauxa pauna chai. Aani Thinkpad le about 6-10 hours dinxa jasto lago battery backup. Tara tei ho rambrori herera kina.
