<p>Hi I am interested in using macbook when i start to study chemical engineering in the fall. Any advice on it? Do the softwares generally work well on macs?

<p>Macs are more stable and less prone to viruses/malware/spyware than the PC is. Keep in mind that various versions of windows are now available for MAC. Meaning, You can use your mac when needed and reboot into windows when specific applications require it.</p>
