Sup /g/, I'm planning on studying computer science at uni

Just use Bootcamp or a virtual machine. Problem solved.

I don't think you'll run into any problem with that. There's Visual Studio for Mac in case you're doing some .NET stuff.

Good luck friend

Thanks for the inputs dues, I have little experience with all this stuff so I appreciate it. I'd hoped I could get away with not needing to dualboot as I feel it could get tedious having to switch between the two regularly

>>61638139
you dont need dual boot with VM my homie.

>>61638139
Just make sure you have plenty of space to run VMs

do you guys think I'd have to use VMs regularly or will I be cool with OSX for the kinds of things I'll do? They mainly teach in java but I don't know much in terms of software.

>>61638069
Make sure you don't get a model with the retarded touchbar if you're going to actually code.

>>61638231
It just depends on your Computer Science program. I'm sure you can do the majority of your work on OSX.

>>61638235
I thought you could put the function keys on it as well as esc what effect would it have on coding?

>>61638231
You'll be fine. If your school is anything like mine as you get farther into the CS stuff you'll be using ssh to access the school's Linux machine for more advanced courses. Osx supports the ssh better than windows

>>61638231
You probably won't need a VM unless you want to mess around with some linux distributions. In either case, VMWare Fusion is the best Mac app for managing VMs.

>>61638269
You cant 'feel' the keys on the touchbar so you can't hit them without looking

Oh look it's another "hey guys I'm a faggot dipshit retard kid what laptop should I buy for class!" thread

Just get a thinkpad/some business laptop, you dumb nigger hipster. Stacy isn't going to fuck you because you got a Mac
