I am going away to college next year and am trying to decide what laptop to purchase. My main priority is college but will also need something to paper/day trade on. I have researched the MacBook Pro M1 and it sounds like a great option because of its speed. My main concern with this laptop is the Rosetta program but it sounds like the program barely affects the overall performance. If you have any suggestions for great laptops that would work for school and trading please let me know. Thanks
MSI Stealth 15M A11SDK-063 144Hz nVidia GTX 1660Ti GPU 6GB GDDR6, 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 (gentechpc.com) Newest MSI release. MSI makes a great build, more business class, and it is reasonable weight (3.7 pounds) for taking to class. Thin and powerful. Does everything you would want and should last 4-5 years. 15" screen is sort of a minimum unless you get a separate screen.
If you intend to use charting software such as Metastock, Multicharts etc, it's best to stick to Windows system.
Get two...one for school and one for trading. Keep that routine for the rest of your trading life. Simply, don't put all your eggs in one basket. For example, have two brokers just in case one goes down or has connection problems for the day. wrbtrader

Then your expensive college courses are not going to teach you a damned thing about the world you are about to enter. You know, the REAL world? You do not need "speed" for paper trading, and you do not need "speed" for taking online classes with point-and-click exams and web surfing. What kind of programs will your college be giving you that you need a Cray Supercomputer with multiple Xeon cores for you to do your classwork on? NONE! Don't buy into the BS of Apple's overpriced proprietary hardware. Get an Asus (Or Dell,) whatever, and you'll be fine. LISTEN!
