I'm going into my senior year as a ChemE. You shouldn't buy anything you think you need or what other people (especially the god damn university) tell you that you must have. You won't even use anything computationally intensive for a while, so having a laptop is more of a perk than a requirement. Even then, you're gonna have a tough time acquiring legit copies of crucial software for personal use that you need for large projects later on. I could have made it through all my years as a student without ever owning a laptop and using the school's computers. However, you definitely wanna bring your desktop to your dorm. Just don't clutter it up with your school's shitty software. Use the university's computers for programs you need.
Also don't be a cuck and buy textbooks. Just about everything is on library genesis, even senior level stuff.

Same boat as you man.
I tried to get OSX but nah lol can't even get out of fast boot or select what I want to boot from.
Have you done anything with it?

Locked boot loader and fucking finger prints everywhere are two more cons. Used thinkpad op
