<p>Are there more opinions? Reading the arguments above, I cannot come up with a conclusive collective opinion.</p>
<p>^That’s because it straight up doesn’t matter.
with a mac u can directly ssh using terminal.<br>
with windows (which I use), you can use putty.</p>
<p>I’m a CS student and both are fine, really.</p>
<p>Windows works completely fine. Mac is a waste of money.</p>
<p>Windows work fine, it’s just you have to go the extra distance in downloading and setting up things just to get things to work. For Mac, these capabilities are already built into the terminal itself and is so much easier. But it comes down to the cost. If cost isn’t a problem, I’d say go for the Mac. But if it is, get a Windows laptop and just spend some time to set it up and you’ll save a ton of money!</p>
