should I buy the MacBook M1, which is 256GB and 8GB of RAM, or should I buy Asus ZenBook 14, which is 1TB, 16GB of RAM? And it’s Ryzen 7 7730, but keep in consideration that my computer science college prefers us to use a Windows laptop, because many software they use are only for Windows, but I can download Parallels on Mac, so it’s no problem. So, which one should I pick? Also, the MacBook M1 is about $750, and the Asus is $900. So, the MacBook is $150 cheaper.
For school forget the mac. It’s not just would the software can be run on the mac but also the tutorials, files from ur teacher,…Depending on your major, u may have better window choice beside the zenbook.
