Best laptop for a computer engineering major?

I’m guessing Windows would be the best OS for the classes I have to take. How much computing power would I need? I’m currently using an Aspire SW5-012 which has decent specs for just browsing the web and typing things (2GB RAM, Intel Atom @ 1.33 GHz). Any programs I will have to run that would need more power? Thanks for any advice.

Those are decent specs for a phone. Get something with Windows OS, at least 6gb of RAM, with at least a 2ghz dual core processor. Everything else is personal preference
