Can I buy MacBook Air M1 for Civil Engineering? or should I go for windows?(I can afford MacBook)
Hi there ,
As a civil engineer, you'll be using tools like AutoCAD, SAP2000, Microsoft Project, and so on. For specific tools, you'll have to go through the specific college curriculum.
I am just mentioning one of the tools here. As far as I checked AutoCAD 2022 and Auto CAD 2022 runs fine with the M1 chip rosetta 2 according to the latest update.
Usually, students prefer a Macbook pro to run AutoCAD. MacBook air might run but not with all the features.
I however suggest going for windows. It will eliminate all these hassles. Also, there will be some heavy-duty tools as well which will require high speed, more RAM, and dedicated GPU . It is better to have windows than Mac OS.
For reference please go through the article below.

I hope this information helps!
Thank you!
As a software like Auto CAD
STAAD
3D MAX
AUTODESK REVIT
And as a engineering student you have you do many projects
So you may no
PPT PRESENTATION
MICROSOFT OFFER WORD
EXCEL
So if you have to know all of this things you just need a good RAM and ROM , A GOOD GRAPHICS CARD .
You can buy any thing which you can afford.
Thank you. I hope this answer helps you.
