I'm looking at the Gen 7 for the LSU Online Post Bacc CM courses.
Thinkpad X1 looks to have a great reputation. Should this be enough to get through the courses?
The P series seems more suited for auto-cad, etc but my thought is to upgrade after securing a position after graduation.

there are a bunch of different versions and you didn't get into your requirements so this question can't be answered really

My apologies. The program consists of 18 hours. I’d like something that can handle large excel files and plans.

The X1 Gen 7 models shown on the Lenovo site would be able to handle Office applications without problem. All have SSD drives and decent processors. Unless you have truly huge spreadsheets (>20Mb) or are dealing with huge data sets, the amounts of RAM shown should be enough. More RAM never hurts. They have integrated graphics, so as long as you are not into graphic intensive work you should be fine.

Check eBay. They have a couple of companies that get great pricing selling on there and you can get them faster and with more ram. Ellen_mouse is one of them

I would imagine even the cheapest X1 should get you through any online college courses.
