I think the most important question to ask is what applications is your friend going to be using. Although I am still learning how to use the Mac, you can browse the web, complete assignments in Pages or text edit, and write coding. What major is your friend going into? If your friend needs Windows then the Intel Mac with Bootcamp might work best, but I would strongly recommend staying with the M1 Macs because I suspect that Intel Macs will lose support after a while. My impression is that they are being phased out. Right now, I am using Mac and Windows. Before your friend makes any changes, please ask about what apps will be used for classes. I think either operating system would be appropriate for word processing, email, And web browsing, and I have heard that the mac is preferable for audio production. I have found it harder to get apps for the Mac though I have an iPhone as well. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of muhammad babar Shahzad Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2022 1:16 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Request for help in deciding between Intel based and and one MacBook Pro
Hello friends, As per the subject line, I request you to kindly let me know whether my friend who is going to transition from Windows to Mac should acquire an Intel based machine or the M1? They need to use it for university studies. I would highly appreciate if anyone could kindly share their experience of transitioning from Windows to Mac for university studies. Thank you very much in advance. Regards, Mohammed Babar Shahzad. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
