Do I need a real graphics card for a cs/engineering undergraduate degree?
Would pic related suffice if it has a Intel HD Graphics 620 card? Not a gamer but I'm worried about some of the modeling stuff. Thanks in advance.

Should be fine. You aren't going to be doing anything graphically intensive. 99% of the time it's going to be plain text in a text editor.

I'd get one with a graphics card. At the very least get AMD so you can have Vega 10.

I used to use an E7480 with an eGPU before I came to my senses and just got a used m7710 and put a M2000M in it. Used is meaningless, both the latitudes and precisions are bombproof and what modern shitpads wish they could be, despite what the toejam eating stahlman worshippers on /g/ew want to believe.

AMD's and Intel's onboard are entirely comparable. The only difference is that at the low end Intel gives you an okay onboard graphics and AMD gives you no graphics at all.

Intel 11xxG7 and AMD 4xxx/5xxx are basically as good as each other, going from G7 to a Ryzen 5xxx is not going to blow you away the way going from onboard to a 1650Ti will.

Nothing wrong with factory refurbished. If it fucks up, you claim on the warranty and they give you another one.

Okay cool but I think we already knew that newer and more expensive processors were better.

In my expierience literally the worst GPU in a tower has a better long term performance in games, solidworks, autocad, novaflow etc. than the best gpu integrated into a laptop, no joke. Its mostly about heat bottlenecking shit and you need an amount of fans twice the volume of any laptop to cool that shit down. Turning up the integrated fans to the max and getting an external fan pad only goes so far.

Yes. Covid will continue forever, and you should plan accordingly.

Ideally, get a degree from home that will get you a job you can do from home, then you can spend your entire life neither endangering, not being endangered by, other human beings.
