For engineering (I’m assuming EE means electrical engineering.) There are many students here who use a mac even though the recommended is PC. I rarely see anyone here using tablets though so I can’t really comment on that.

Assuming all dorm are basically cramp, you will still have some amount of room (it feel like there is way more space now that I’m used to everything.) I find it hard to stay stationary in the room. I go from being in my bungee chair to climbing bed to going somewhere else in the building with my laptop so there is definitely a huge mobility factor for me.

Thinkpads I think are one of the best PC out there. My only regret for not getting it is that they didn’t have touchscreen. I considered getting a desktop but it’s was a little too immobile so I just went for a laptop since I know I want to take it to class. Being at 15", it not really that heavy (the 17" version is only like .5 pounds heavier) but 13" does have that lightweight factor. But I didn’t get it because of the small screen size and I’d be flying and dropping that thing all over the place. Now looking back, it would had been nice because some of the desk size (yes this include the big lecture halls) were abnormally small.

There is really no “best size”, just find the size that fit you the most which I’m guessing would be 13".

By the way had you tried windows 8? I had my doubt about it after hearing all the negatives but I found that there wasn’t really anything wrong with it, it’s just different.
