actually as with mac book pro, surface pro 4 is the brand name so you pluralize the entire thing as in mac book pros or surface pro 4s

it is a bad idea because engineers are insufferable, it would just encourage them to say the word "engineer" more. the target audience would be that dude on my ferry who said the word engineer several hundreds of times to a girl he trapped in conversation

maybe they were just talking about command & conquer strats

Yes, what you want to do with a gaming rig that needs lots of ventilation and wattage is to reduce the amount of both available. Fake rear end gamer

dell xps and dell e7450 are both successors to macbooks. dell precision and hp zbook are both good engineering laptops
also the w700ds if it was 2009

i have a 12 inch thinkpad YOGA which is k00l b/c it's about the size and weight and power of the little macbook pro, but it runs windows and has the clit mouse

also it has a touchscreen, which i use fairly frequently to be a lazy rear end in a top hat browsing sa and just drag my hand on the screen instead of being all accurate with the touchpad

and the screen has a wacom digitizer, which is a cool feature for the 10 times a year i use it

and it does this backwards folding thing that turns it into a big heavy "tablet" which i never use but have on occasion folded it halfway and stood it up like a picture frame to watch movies.

engineering laptop = workstation

aka dell precision, thinkpad p, tecra w and the likes

basically anything that takes 4 sticks of ram is probably workstation-ish

also the sager (aka clevo/eurocom) frankenbuilds but i wouldn't touch those with a ten foot pole because of poor client care
