M1 Macbook Or Asus ZenBook 14
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.
Go with Windows. While Parallels offers Windows on Mac, it is the ARM version of Windows, which has to emulate x86 apps, and compatibility is just not there yet. I assume most specialised software will not work under Windows on Arm.
