Should I get a Mac or a PC as an engineering major?

<p>Just want some opinions......</p>

<p>You honestly dont even need a computer. But it all depends on what your school uses as software. If it uses applications that don't have mac variants, then ya will most likely want to get a pc. A computer is nothing more than a tool. So get the tool that fits the job.</p>

<p>You can be successful with either.</p>

<p>Of course a computer would make life a lot easier. </p>

<p>Since you're asking the question, I'm assuming you have a personal preference for macs. Those should still be okay for the most part if you have a program that can simulate windows.</p>

<p>Ah the old Mac v Pc arguments of the new millennium.</p>

<p>How about Linux!
Linux > Mac + Windows</p>

<p>Like everyone's saying... get whichever you like; anything aside from e-mail and microsoft office stuff, you'll probably end up doing in a university computer lab.</p>

<p>Doesn't really matter, whichever you prefer.</p>

<p>Though I suggest at least having a Windows partition because all software your school uses will work on Windows but not neccessarily on MacOS or Linux.</p>

<p>Get anything that meets your school's requirements. </p>

<p>It really doesnt matter. You would probably be more enthusiastic about using it if you got the one you wanted.</p>
