Look up the reliability of that Dell model. Many students I know, including my son had to return their Dell for various issues, including latch issues, processor speed issues and other failures inside of two years of buying a Dell in 2016. Dells may not last for 4 years. I am not familiar with Lenovo, but RPI websites might have info, as they used to require Lenovo for all students. HP laptops used to be very reliable, but I know nothing about the latest model.
