Mac Book or Dell for Architecture Student?

Archi49

What do you think is a better laptop for an architecture student? 

Dell Precision M4700 or MacBook Pro? 

 

I need to run programs such as Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCad, Revit, Rhino, 3DS. Which type of computer is better as an architecture student?

dell, unless you're running windows in bootcamp on the macbook.  all of the programs you listed besides adobe are windows only anyway.

Pick the one that you would be comfortable replacing with a desktop as you advance in your studies. It will eventually become a netflix streaming device as you let your desktop do all the heavy lifting. Go with the Dell, save yourself $500 or more.
