But if and once you begin to ask for graphics beyond streaming videos and Farmville (ie serious gaming perhaps), MacBooks are out the window. If you were someone who used his laptop just for checking email, then MacBooks will serve that purpose. I’m writing this on a MacBook, which I’ve had for 2.5 years and my response is: or Linux.or dual boot.I'd rather not dual boot.Īnd don't say oh you're going to be a CS major you're supposed to know this already.I'm just looking for advice.thanks. So what would you recommend for the CS major? Mac or Windows?. Would you recommend using a Mac for programming in the CS major? I really want the MacBook Pro, but I'm worried that I won't be able to use it for all of my programming courses since Apple is so exclusive with what programs you can run and all that crap. Money is not an issue for me, I can literally afford anything (been saving up for a long time). I'm having a hard time deciding between the new MacBook Pro and a Windows PC with the same or higher specs. Either way, I'm going to be doing a lot of programming and I'm going to need a laptop that will allow me to write/test code in a variety of languages. Or I may opt for the bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, I'm not sure yet. I plan on going to RIT for a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
