Which computer?

My daughter needs to get a laptop - she really wants a Mac, but she was told that it won’t run something she needs for one of her required computer classes. She will be a business major, and needs to take either CGS 2531 or ISM 3013. Is anyone familiar with either of these classes, and knows whether or not a Mac will work? (I’m just not sure if she was told correctly, because my other daughter is an engineering major and has been doing fine with a Mac)

a mac will do the job

A MAC should be fine. Here’s the software and hardware requirements for CGS 2531:
