<p>im going to be an engineering major in the fall.. specifically computer engineering and would like to know from other computer engineering majors or anyone what kind of computer they would recommend if it makes a difference at all...... also I intend to get a laptop... any reason not to??</p>
<p>Your school’s web site may have computer recommendations on it somewhere. I was able to find this for my school:</p>

<p>It doesn’t make a difference at all.</p>
<p>Erm it probably wont make much of a difference. A Windows machine usually makes it easier as you can always dual boot a linux distro with it tho</p>
