Repost from the College Laptops forum, since i figured i could get more responses here too

Hi, I’m wondering what laptop I should get for EE. I’m leaning heavily towards a Macbook Pro 2017 13 inch version with 128 gb. I really value its thin build and slick, clean model. Is MBP a good decision? Or is there any other laptop i should get for EE? If possible, I’d like a laptop thats thin and has a clean model to it, and weighs a little.

Thanks in advance!

Oh also, I plan to minor in Economics as well

Are there any programs that you need to use for classes in EE? Are they available for MAC?
I am not sure if it matters…I would get something reliable, not too heavy, that is useful for whatever you use a PC for (videos, gaming).
