I am currently a college student going to school for computer engineering (which is a hybrid between computer science and electrical engineering) and I need to get a new laptop. I am familiar with both operating systems so the transfer wouldn’t be any major issues.

onHowever, the issue comes in when deciding what MacBook I need, which is why I am turning here. I have researched the new M3 chips extensively, and it’s nearly a 50/50 between “save your money and get an m2” versus “this chip is awesome.”

I am lost here and need some advice on what chip is the right move. Also, I have a Windows desktop at my home that can provide any Windows-specific software required.

​

I appreciate your help in advance, thanks guys!

    Just check with your engineering department to see if there will be software that doesn’t run on MacOS. Some colleges still use software that only works on Windows PC.

    Edit: Get an M1 MacBook Pro 14-inch to save money and get good quality if the college doesn’t have software limitations.
