MacBook recommendation for the entire computer science career

Good afternoon, I would like to know what you recommend for starting a computer science degree and for it to last the 5 years of the degree, both for programming and for exhibitions and similar activities that require a laptop. Will it be a Macbook Air or a Pro? In addition to how much memory is needed, Thank you in advance.

Hi,

The best MacBook model for computer science students depends on their specific needs and budget. The MacBook Pro with the M2 or M3 chip is ideal for students who require high performance for tasks like coding, running virtual machines, and software development.

As for Memory, at least 16GB you should have or 32GB if you have the budget.
