Parallels is basically a virtual machine software made for running Windows on macOS, and it’s great for that. But when it comes to running other types of VMs, it’s not as flexible, based on my understanding. Universities, for example, provide pre-configured VM packages that only work with specific platforms like VirtualBox or VMware, so you’d need one of those to open them. Because of that, Parallels isn’t super useful in those cases unless you specifically need it for Windows. Another big thing is that parallels is not free so thats another subscription to pay for and include in your budget.

I 100% agree. If you’re dead on sticking with a Mac, pairing it with a gaming desktop at home that you can access remotely is a fantastic setup, but can be a hassle to set up. But if someone’s buying a device just for university and doesn’t have a big budget, a Windows gaming laptop is a solid all-in-one solution that’ll easily get them through university. They can always upgrade afterwards, to meet their future employer requirements. As for always needing to be plugged in, once you’re actually in university, you realise that power sockets are everywhere. And honestly, the number of times you’ll actually sit down in a café to do real work is pretty rare, it’s more of a nice idea than something you’ll do often.

Make sure you get a minimum of 16GB of ram, when you get your laptop too, and if you are planning to dive into some machine learning, a decent NVIDIA graphics card is recommended.

I almost got Zephyrus G14 but fate and time was not on my side, during the time i was in the market for a computer they were having stock issues. There was no stock for like 7 months and i ended up caving in for a Mac. Linux is definitely a very flexible OS but i feel the learning curve is big and takes a lot of dedication, but once you learn it, you can push and squeeze the performance out of all your hardware.

Framework is that the modular laptop? I’ve seen videos on those but have never seen one in person. How’s the experience? and to continue the topix of best OS. It really depends on your major. Linux is popular for Cyber Security and Networking, macOS is great for app and web development, and Windows offers more flexibility across disciplines. If your course uses Linux, they’ll typically provide a Linux package which you will still have to create a virtual machine for. The VM they provide has pre-configured apps and files. That’s why I wouldn’t recommend a Mac-its ARM chips don’t have great support for running virtual machines efficiently.

@@garrichf I actually don’t have a Framework myself, though an old friend does and is running Ubuntu. I’m actually a longtime Mac user (and wasn’t a comp-sci major way back in college, either) but if I were a comp-sci student today that would seem like the obvious platform to use.

that's cool! what apps have you developed?

@@garrichf I made a Google Gemini client in SwiftUI with 200K+ downloads.

I go to Swinburne the lecturers show up to classes with mac cuz they only use it to display slides and stuff but when marking our assignments they have to use the school computers apparently which are Windows.

Yeah I agree, the Mac is great for general use, and I like it for coding, too, they keyboard, screen, speakers are great but in terms of just having a single set up for university i still believe Windows is the most supported platform and you won't have to deal with a bunch of troubleshooting you need to do while on a Mac because the Windows OS is just kore flexible at the moment, so it can support you through all the units and subjects. But yeah once you enter the workforce and industry. The OS you use depends on what the company you work for requires, but sometimes those companies might sponsor you a laptop or you can just buy one once you are finished with university.

But through troubleshooting and trying to get things working i have definitely learnt more and found out how to fix certain issues, etc.

maybe for personal projects but all the units are built for Windows OS, atleast from my personal experience. I've had some units require us to package our software in a .exe format but you can't do that on a mac, even if you could use an online packager you can't run it on a mac.

and also im not saying you cannot use a Mac, you can its just that you would have to struggle and troubleshoot more on your own because there is not much support for it, the same goes for Linux, i've not seen much people who use Linux in university other than those majoring in cyber security. In terms of units, when they use linux you have to install a virtual machine on your computer with their specific Linux package to do the assignments.

it truly is a very massive table haha

Amen 🙏 hahaha

Thank you! 😊

Hmm, siapa yeah 🤔 😄 of course lil bro

Hahahahah

whats Fair dinkum? but thanks hahaha

@ unquestionably good or excellent.👍👍👍

💀💀

Agree

Must have renovated

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been on here in a while. If i had to be honest God's blessing fr, i requested a for a 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom like 2 months before i moved to Melbourne, and got accepted to both. I know many people that tried applying for way longer than me and have had a hard time and still is on the waiting list. Demand is very high, if you get in praise the lord fr.

Im lucky enough to have my parents fund my tuition and accomodation expenses. Life in Melbourne will vary from person to person but for me its been fun with ups and downs. I should to start posting content again soon. My semester just ended 😅

No, not at the moment. Been adjusting to life in Melbourne, will look for one next yeat when im back from sem break

Per person

Tmr i no have go, i go next week

Yeap

@@garrichf been long time

Thank you 😊 glad you liked it!

Hi Hi Mr Faizin

Hello 👋

Do you know who I am

I have also lived with AC basically all my life, the first night it felt weird not to have AC but you will get used to it over time. I bought a fan for air flow in my room. Right now it is autumn/winter so the weather is quite cold that you don't need AC.

Thank you, I will

Glad you enioyed, I'll be doing more soon! Been working on assignments haha 😅

AUD299/ week

Of course man, can't forget about the old Fortnite days :D. How have you been!

@@garrichf i’ve been good man.. what you up to nowadays

For some reason, i didnt get this reply. Nothing much just school and assignments hahah

message?

rip egg 🥲🫣

It was hot on some days during the first few weeks as there were days where the temperature reached 37 degrees outside, if you leave the windows closed then it'll get stuffy. I recommend getting a fan (I bought the Vornado 460) to circulate the air in the room, and have the windows open whenever you can. Now we are entering autumn season and soon it'll be winter so it won't be hot.

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thats nice, i was nervous as well coming to a new place far away from home. But don't worry the community here is very friendly so you'll fit right in! If you see me don't be shy to say hello!

Sorry for the late reply! I didn't get notified of any comments 😅 Sure, my instagram is @garrichf, its also in the description of the video.

You got go back to training already?

Nah not going edy need ready for my next yr IGCSE

Oof i dont game anymore:o so i didn know 😔

Thanks Clement!! :D Long time didn't see you in Badminton training hahhaa
