1. Matlab runs fine and natively on a Mac, so I don’t know what that objection was about. There are also versions of MS Office available, though they are generally inferior to their Windows brethren.

2. Most schools will offer computer labs with workstations that are more than capable of handling all the software you will need for your degree. In other words, don’t bother overspending on a real beast of a laptop. Instead, buy what you want in terms of power vs. portability. You may even be able to Remote Desktop at some schools, which would further reduce computing requirements for you.

3. You will pay a lot more money for a given performance if you go with a Mac.
