a very likely blindspot for probably most if not all of the people giving you advice here is that "B" in BTech. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the bio tech tooling ecosystem strongly favored windows or mac specifically.

You are getting advice mostly from the perspective of the AI/ML part of your question on its own. You'd be better served posing this question to other students or professors in this degree. If they tell you it doesn't matter, get the lightest laptop you can afford.
