Help Looking for College Laptop

Hey I know this is about PC’s specifically but I’m not sure what other subreddit to use I’m not very active on here but this is really important to me and I want to make sure I’m getting the best thing I can. So I'm going into college later this year as an aerospace engineer and my plan was to buy a Macbook until recently I learned that most engineering software require windows to run it which eliminated that option for me. I need help my budget is 2700$ and I'm looking for something relatively easy to travel and get into a bag nothing chunky or that would be a huge burden to carry around, this is more of a preference but it would be a plus if it could run games well.
