Hey!

There are many types of CSE specializations and the need of students vary as per the course such as  core programmers, campus gamers,  graphic design stuff and  machine learning and data science stuff. I will try to provide the best laptop within your budget. But with the basic requirements such as 1080p IPS display, Intel i5 core processor to run SDK or IDE seamlessly and SSD over HDD storage.

• For core programmers: Lenovo Ideapad 530s Core i5 8th gen 15.6-inch (8GB RAM/512GB SSDMS Office H&S 2016/2GB Graphics/1.69kg)  ; Apple MacBook Air (13-inch Retina Display, 1.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 8th Gen, 128GB)
• for gamers and machine learning : ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT 15.6" FHD 120Hz Laptop GTX 1650 4GB Graphics (Ryzen 5-3550H/8GB RAM/512GB PCIe SSD/Windows 10/Stealth Black/2.20 Kg)  ; MSI Gaming GL63 8SD-1020IN Intel Core i7-8750H 8th Gen 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop(8GB/512GB NVMe SSD/Windows 10/GTX 1660 Ti, 6GB Graphics/2.22Kg )
• For graphic designers: Microsoft Surface Pro 6 NKR-00023 2019 12.3-inch Laptop (8th Gen Core i5-8250U/8GB/128GB SSD/Windows 10 Home + Type Cover

Kindly note that gamers and ML laptops comes with powerful and heavy batteries but have shorter lives. And for programmrs the laptops are very ultralooking, portable and long battery life.

Hope I answered your query, thankyou!
