Why not just buy a cheap possibly last gen mac book, upgrade the storage and install windows through bootcamp? You get both Win and OSX and for a college setting macs are pretty desirable. Windows would help keep projects universal in accessibility and mac could be useful for some simple word functions and taking quick notes. Talk me out of it Sup Forums and give reasons beside for

Not too familiar with Macbooks, but if the hard drive is large enough, why not go the full hog and triple-boot w/ Ubuntu?
James Lopez
There is no way to justify the tied down OSX. Even Ubuntu dualboot is tenfolds better for the task.
Josiah Taylor
Just get a mac and use macos

i bought a old 2009 mac mini to experiment around with the os and am unfamiliar and uncomfortable with it. i dont want to go to college with a machine i dont know how to utilize, i feel having windows would be a good back up in case i go full tard and cant figure it out.
Brody Foster
You have to go back to 2012 if you want upgradable ram or storage.
Maybe later if using the sd-card slot is an acceptable solution.
Install windows if you want.
But make your home on one operating system.
Bouncing between the two sounds like a giant pain.
Sebastian Cooper
probs would buy used bc my budget is around 900

You can have Windows as a backup but you're better off learning how to use MacOS's workflow. Most Linux distros use a similar one nowadays, and for good reason -- it's become far more efficient than the standard Win9x layout everyone copied for 20 years.
Carter Torres
yea i guess i should just go all in for the mac os
Ian Mitchell
any recommendations for a good but not bank breaking Mac pro or air that has decent specs and hardrive
Jace Cruz
just get a 2012 pro from ebay
Landon Martin
would it still hold up to modern tasks? i guess macs last longer than PCs but that's like 5 years old.
Oliver Nelson
I have a 2012 pro and use it for college it's great I'm running Sierra and everything is pretty smooth overall
Robert Ortiz
How is the hard drive capacity on it? Also what type?
Thomas Lopez
i have a 2011 imac and its fast as fuck. macs have barely increased in speed and power, like most most computers in the past five years. any older laptop you get will be fine.

Do it OP. You can't lose.
Lincoln Ramirez
any thoughts on this one?
ebay.com
Im not quite sure on the pricing of these laptops
Christian Richardson
Probably will just get a mac at this point
Grayson Collins
This is also an option but is not new. It appears to be upgraded by the seller but i dont know how trustworthy the battery would be on a used laptop.
Nicholas Rogers
buy a dell xps, dualboot with ubuntu
Leo Bennett
>2012

>tied down
Name something lacking in OSX that Linux Distros do.
