Hello Ozbargainers,
I'm a lifetime PC user, and right now I'm considering migrating to a mac.
I work in the eCommerce industry and need to use my computer almost 24/7 for work and personal use.
Current use of my laptop includes: some coding (HTML, CSS, js), photo editing, creating documents & reports, etc. I'm trying to expand my skills by learning some programming especially in the area of Data Science (starting from the beginner stuff - python, SQL, etc). I've signed up for an online and an offline course and noticed that all courses encourage you to use a mac (UNIX). Most instructors are Mac users and are not familiar with windows, so when I encounter any technical issues (due to software error or version issue), I need to figure it out myself.
If there are any programmers out there, is it worth it for me to buy a MacBook?
If yes, which one should I buy? Is MacBook Pro a must, or can I get by just with a MacBook Air? (I ask this question because Macs are so damn expensive)
Does anyone know any special deals for Macbooks? Where and how can I get the deal?
Thanks for reading.
I've just reported this post for trolling.
