Hello,

I’ve recently been gifted a Huawei Matebook 16s (intel i9 processor, 16GB RAM, 8GB GPU, DDR5). I need it for uni/work and for my bachelor thesis (and hopefully my masters etc after that) that I want to write abroad next year (where I won’t have a desktop pc). I haven’t selected a bachelor thesis yet because it’s still a year until I will have to write it, so I don’t know which tasks and software I need to be able to use with my laptop.

I’ve been looking into system requirements for engineering tools like AutoCAD and Matlab and I seem to always fulfill at least the basic requirements, but I’ve read on some blogs that you need 32 GB memory or better 64 GB for engineering tasks like simulations? But I’m not sure if that’s only for some engineers, in certain branches, after university, or if it’d be better to replace my laptop?
