Macbooks good college laptops? (Engineer major)?

yammamoto4

Like I want to become an engineer and wonder if having an OS Macbook is ok for college. I heard some other people say most software you use are PC based so you can't use macbooks. I already know that iWorks can save in word documents so I'm able to do PC based documents. I Just want some feedback because I do really like the macbook itself and think it's the best laptop ever. Money not an issue in this. Thanks.

Answer
Check with the college before buying!

If they have a PC infrastructure (Computers/Network/Servers), you would need to add Windows 7 to Boot Camp to access all you need.

And while Boot Camp is probably included in a Macbook, you still need to buy a complete Windows 7 license.


In the end, it's always your choice but it pays to think all things trough!

Answer
What ever laptop computer you get make sure it's not got windows 8 installed on it, My advice is get a system with win 7 and download linux operating system you get all the professional software free including Libre Office, which is on par with ms office 2010 with all the same features and more besides, you get free professional CAD (Computer Aided Design) software
