Macs are very capable and hold value because of name brand, so if you have the money and that’s what you want, go for it. But like another commenter said you could get a better machine for less; I just switched to a gaming laptop from my 2021 MacBook Pro. Also in my experience, some professors are stiff about Mac vs windows. My girlfriend has to go to the computer lab because her professors selected program doesn’t work on her MacBook, and my stats professor does his examples in windows, but for Mac you have to use some code workarounds. But again, if that is what you’re set on and you have the money, then it wouldn’t be awful.
