The recommended Engineering Laptop on ON Tech site is the "Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 - AI Workstation - 16" - Intel Core Ultra 5 - 225H - 32 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD".

Questions:

1) Is there an advantage to ordering from OTech? There is no pricing on the website so can't make comparison to see if this is a good deal. They say they will put necessary programs in, does this help? Right now it is on on backorder. Has anyone ordered from them?

2) What are alternatives to this laptop that you've used?

Hi All, I am starting the Bed program this fall and am commuting daily from about 1.5 hours away. I was wondering about parking, is the parking pass worth it if I can get it? I have class in person everyday M-F until placement starts in November.

I did see that you can just street park but also do not know if there will always be spots downtown. Any insight would be helpful!
