Laptop recommendations for student researcher
For my work, I code, run analysis using heavy datasets, lots of research, I use r, endnote, stata, spss, sass, Microsoft office apps, creative cloud apps, articulate storyline and juggle multiple tabs and desktop. I need a new laptop, any recommendations? I need it to also be able to support two additional external monitors possibly through a docking station. I’m stuck between the 14-inch MacBook Pro in Space Black with M5 chip with 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 24GB unified memory and 512GB SSD storage (which supports 2 external monitors) and the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro chip with 12-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 24GB unified memory and 512GB SSD storage which is $250 but doesn’t support 2 external monitors.
