I am starting on a bachelor degree in ingeneering this fall.

Would you recomend a used workstation as a student laptop. I can get this laptop for 1100$:

I would prefere a new thinkpad or presission but that would be 3 times the price. Alternatively a gaming laptop to 1.5 the price.

What would you recomend? Does the used one last three years?
