starting cse this year, need a laptop under $600 and i have no idea what i'm doing

Should I buy the Dell Inspiron 16 7640 2-in-1 16GB version now or wait for the 32GB version to come back? (OPINION)
Welcome. At your budget, I'm not sure there's something appropriate from Dell right now but if you can stretch your budget there have been some XPS 15 9530 on a stupidly high level of discounting on Outlet. The least expensive is $950, though. There is one Latitude 5540 via Outlet in the same price
