What laptop should I get?

Hello again! I just had a quick question to ask. I watched the orientation videos today and saw that they said I should get a laptop for orientation as it will make the process of signing up for classes easier. I have been looking for a laptop for a while now but haven’t made any decisive decisions.
I will be attending Cockrell for Architectural Engineering so I was wonder what laptop I should get. I have been looking at the Dell XPS 15 9550 with 6th Gen Intel i7, 16 RAM, 960 NVIDIA 960M, 512 GB, and with no 4K Display. I don’t know if this would be a good choice as it is quite expensive, although I like everything about it as it has a decent battery life. If anyone has any feedback I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
