What type of laptop do you recommend?

So i need a laptop for college, and will be an engineering major so I will need it to be pretty high-tech and able to run a lot of programs for me without getting too slow.

I have no price limit on my laptop but I have no clue which are good and which aren't.

So if you could recommend a type of laptop:

ACER laptop

Apple laptop

Dell laptop

Gateway laptop

HP laptop

Samsung laptop

Sony laptop

Also if you could tell me why you would suggest that type of laptop and which one is best.

Thank you!
