Is a Macbook a good idea for engineering? (alien.top)

I am currently a college student going to school for computer engineering (which is a hybrid between computer science and electrical engineering) and I need to get a new laptop. I am familiar with both operating systems so the transfer wouldn't be any major issues.

onHowever, the issue comes in when deciding what MacBook I need, which is why I am turning here. I have researched the new M3 chips extensively, and it's nearly a 50/50 between "save your money and get an m2" versus "this chip is awesome."

I am lost here and need some advice on what chip is the right move. Also, I have a Windows desktop at my home that can provide any Windows-specific software required.

I appreciate your help in advance, thanks guys!

I tried to, but since I got it today, black Friday, they couldn't stack discounts at best buy for some reason

Yeah, you can’t stack discounts. As long you got the best deal available!
