Poll Computer Science Student Macbook or Desktop PC? (50 votes)
What's up GB community, I know your probably tired of my queries about Macbooks, laptops and PC's for a soon to be Computer Science student but I promise that this is the last time I'll bother the community about the subject. Probably.
The deal is that I'm planning on studying Computer Science at university and am in dire need of a new PC or laptop. My preference upon a bit of research is to get a Macbook Pro, it would also be the easiest to transport when I need to return home during holidays. I'm not looking to game on the system purely program, work and do a bit of hobbyist development on the side but I just want to check that a high spec Macbook Pro is more than capable of lasting me the 4-5 years of my degree and that I will not need a PC over the course of my degree. The last thing I want to do is purchase a Macbook and then in a couple of years time discover that I need to invest in a PC, so will a Macbook be capable of being a system to work and program on over the course of my degree.
