Current Comp Sci and Soft Eng Students!
Hello, I'm starting a degree in Software Engineering at Durham in October.
I was at first planning to bring my desktop PC with me, but I have been thinking about all of the disadvantages of this. Firstly, all of the messing around with bringing the various parts etc with me, as well as the fact that I will have to sit in my room to use my PC. However, if I had a laptop instead, I could work anywhere and would be able to socialise whilst doing work, i.e in the library.
Regarding a laptop though, I was planning on buying a Macbook Pro. Do many computer science / software engineering students currently at Durham use Macbook's and would recommend one?
Any advice is appreciated!
