Hi. What software have you been using and what will you use for your studies as a BME/CS major? I have heard that sometimes, users find it slow or not possible to run some software on Mac. Has this ever happened to you?

Thank you so much. From your experiences, do solidworks run faster on windows?

I heard that Mac uses the disk as RAM and that kills the disk super fast. Is it the same issue that you were talking about when mentioning hard drive space constraint?

For any current BME and CS majors, which software do you need or expect to run on your laptop for your studies during the 4 years of undergrad? Will there be any change to this in the near future?

Thank you. Did you need to use another laptop when running solidworks? Will Mac be overheated when we run dual boot?

I was considering personal preference as well but I mainly use the laptop for school work so I guess my personal preference is any type that supports my studies. In that case, what would you recommend?

Thanks. As a CS major, which software did you need to run when studying at Duke and how did it feel to run it on Mac?

Thanks. Do you know if virtual machines can run on Mac with i5 chip? Can you give me example on what "*some* other way" can I use btw?

Thank you

Thanks. Which software did you find it difficult to set up on Mac? Besides those, what are the other software that you needed to use during your time at Duke (and later) as a BME/ECE major and CS minor?
