<p>Hi! I'm entering next year as a biomedical engineer and I was wondering what laptop brand would be the best to buy for my major.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Hey, me too! Biomedical engineer. Same question as OP :D</p>
<p>You do see a lot of Macbook’s/MBP/Air’s running around USC nowadays. </p>
<p>With bootcamp or Parallels, you can also run windows on them. Good buy if you wanna dish out the cash :D</p>
<p>I don’t know exactly what applications BME majors will require, but I know that a lot of engineering classes require applications that don’t run on OSX.</p>
<p>As moss said, NEW Macs can now also run Windows (though you have to buy Windows separately). But they are more, but if you do go and get one, remember to ask for your student discount, should save like $100-200.</p>
<p>I dunno about BME, but none of the EE or CS classes I’ve taken require windows…</p>
<p>I use a mac (EE major) and haven’t run into any issues running stuff… in fact probably about half the professors run macs as well.</p>
<p>Also, you can always use the windows PC’s in the computer labs, or if you’re at home, you can connect remotely through synergy.</p>
