Looking to buy engineering laptop for incoming freshman. The 12th Man Technology store seems to be priced competitively and it would be nice to have loaner and repair option on campus.

Any thoughts or experiences?

Get a Dell with NBD on-site repairs (XPS). Kid can use the computer lab for 1 day.

XPS or Surface laptop. I switched to Mac during my junior year, but I wasn't doing any coding or weird programs at that point. I'd imagine windows will be better still as a freshman/sophomore.

Surface or something with ability to use a stylus.
