Mechanical specialty has low requirements for computers. Basically, i5-7300 8gb memory, 1050 graphics card can run cad and sw smoothly, and the hard disk size is about 500g to1t.. Depending on the direction, the software used is also different. There are probably these softwares: Ansys, python, matlab, Keil, comsol, etc.

Because the graphics drawn during school are relatively simple small models, it is ok to have a low computer configuration. Generally, write word documents in office and do ppt. ; Draw with three-dimensional software (CAD, SolidWorks/Proe/Ug, etc.). )

Postgraduate laboratories generally have better servers, and they can run simulations and programs without their own computers. Generally speaking, using your own computer means reading documents, writing word documents (papers) and doing ppt (conference report and defense), so the requirements for computers are not high, and it is ok to continue using computers during the undergraduate period.
