The apps you listed are for Windows and the machines don't come with a Windows OS.
Installing WIndows on laptops has been too rough on folk so I can't guess why these models were chosen. On top of that, if there is any Windows issue it won't be anything Dell will answer since they didn't supply it up and working.
Theses are poor choices for a student or even a grad.
Hello!
I hope I can find someone here to help me with picking the better laptop. I want a light fast laptop. I'm a student so I can't afford an expensive one. I will use it for my graduation project so I will take it everywhere with me.
I will use it for some engineering softwares like MATLAB, PSPICE, Emcos, Tina etc...
