<p>I have experience with both, mainly with macs. I know that PCs are used more in engineering-related careers so I'm willing to switch over to a PC.</p>
<p>Also, I have no idea which are the best PC laptops. Any brand in particular?</p>
<p>On top of this question (if drexeler doesn’t mind) would it be better to bring a laptop, desktop, or both (given the major)</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter. If you like your Mac just install a Windows virtual machine in Virtualbox. You’re going to a tech school – someome will know how to do that for you.</p>
<p>From what I understand, in most cases you will have an easier time installing engineering related programs and getting campus tech support if you have a PC. Not that it’s impossible for you to utilize a mac for that purpose. We inquired about which platform was preferred at three engineering schools and the response was PC. You would also probably find the most flexibility in studying, lab work, etc. if you have a laptop. We are hearing that the easiest PC brands for tech support are HP and Dell. Of course it would be best to inquire directly to the school you will be attending. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice everyone! I would imagine that having a pc would be a lot more convenient. I’ll just ask someone during the accepted students orientation :)</p>
