Hi I’m going to be a student at Virginia Tech studying engineering in the fall and was wondering which laptop would be a better option between the XPS and the Inspiron.

The specs I’m looking for are:

-Intel core i7 10th gen

-16 GB of RAM

-At least 500 GB on SSD

The XPS is talked about everywhere as being a good laptop for engineering students, but the Inspiron can get the same specs for significantly cheaper. However, I see nothing about it being recommended for engineering.

Any and all help is much appreciated
