The latest laptop from Apple the M1 Max is a masterpiece of engineering; however, can it really be a structural engineering laptop? I go through some of the top software used by structural engineers and put the M1 Max through its pace to see if it can really be used for engineering. engineers are always on the search for the best laptop for engineering, and the need is rising for engineers to be able to design on the go. So when you search for the best portable laptop, you would be hard-pressed to go past the Apple M1 Max. Mac however is not known for their engineering software which is basically exclusively on Windows, so can the Mac keep up even when Virtual machined?

I am a student in civil engineering and I would like to ask you for help with my thesis. My question is, in general, what are the substances that neutralize chloride ions or sulfates that can help us prevent corrosion of steel in concrete?
If u know any professer can help me pleas let me know or give me his email
Thank you !!
¡Por fin un video de Apple por un ingeniero civil reconocido!
Lo he esperado tanto que no lo veo todavía pero ya tengo mucho “hype”
finally an m1 mac engineers perspective
Great video, you should review more tech you use in structural engineering
Thanks, will do!
Please do Brenden
Could you do vidoes of tutorial of using various engineering softwares like etabs, ram, staad pro
Thanks for the suggestion!
no it's not, and in the first 25 seconds of video you showed why... if you need a virtual machine, bootcamp, etc... then mac is obviusly not the way to go, just get a windows machine, i have never ever seen a proficient structural/civil engineer use a mac, I even had a professor back in college that had a phd in structures used windows, if you are watching this video starting college or your masters, just get a good windows laptop or a light gaming laptop and you won't need anything more than install apps and use them
Thank you👍🏾
Hi Brendan, thanks for posting videos regarding SE! Definitely admire your work! I am aware that price point is a huge factor when picking out a laptop, but based on so many reviews of Apple's chip, I started to think if it's now reliable to do engineering work on a Macbook (while running parallels), vs. a full fledge PC. I really like the versatility of both operating systems (I like doing creativity on the side), and I really prefer Mac hardware over PC. Would you say that the performance on the mac is now up to par with windows when it comes to engineering work?
im always curious about what tech engineers and designers use or prefer, thank you.
I have a Lenovo P53 (Intel UHD Graphics 630, Nvidia Quadro T200, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) and Im happy with it.
Hi her design, Glad the you enjoyed it, typically most engineers use Dell hp lenovo. Thanks for watching and the support. BTW a scammer message everyone it wasn't me and I have deleted the comments.
Glad to see videos like this.
You can really notice the efficiency of ARM processors vs X86 even with the virtual machines - maybe we will see X86 architecture being phased out eventually as CPUs start getting throttled by electricity constraints.
However I think the efficiency isn't just from the hardware but also the OS, windows is such a RAM hungry system.
I'm personally halfway transitioning to Linux (KDE) for my desktop and will continue to use it on a new AM5 build (keeping a W11 Laptop as back up). Mac and Linux should definitely be an option for students and small business' - a lot more compatibility than what it was 5 years ago but I don't think we will be seeing it anytime soon for larger consultancies.
Yesterday I upgraded my old pc HDD to SSD. Now it opens about 20 seconds. Pretty beneficial modification to do.
Good choice! SSD and if possible 16 (min) 32GB (ideal) of RAM upgrade are good upgrades.
@@mangoandguitar Thanks for advice but not sure to do because generally rams welded to mother board. While changing your ram the repairer can cause damages to laptop's motherboard which can cause severe problems.
@@alperenozen7582 if it's soldered ram, then leave it alone. Not worth risking damaging it.
You can always remap those shortcut keys within Bluebeam itself to get around some of weird quirks.
Interesting video. I would say to get more sense you can try the drafter spec pc in your office and do the same test. Also I would love to see how you use virtual machine.
Thanks for the idea Deepak!
Interresting. I've always seen the Mac platform as something for music producers, photographers, graphic designers and other creative type industries. Maybe the odd architect that refuses to use Autodesk products. I'm aware that many architects have used or still use X86 macs with bootcamp and/or parallels desktop to run the obligatory Autodesk classics such as Autocad and Revit.
Personally I still use a generic built-it-your-self tower PC in a non-descript case that you shove under the desk. Sadly most (if not all) engineering software is made for Windows, anything really like Technosft and SCIA engineer. I feel Autodesk should port Revit to the mac, but I don't see that happening. I use some apple products (an iPhone and an iPad). I find the iPad great for my musical hobbies. The apple platform is great for that sort of things. There exists a native mac version of Autocad, but it lacks the vertical integration packages such as Civel 3D.
I'm using BricsCAD (Belgium based company) a really viable alternative to Autodesk products. They have MAC and Linux compatibility - can give that a go?
Yeah they bearly develop revit as is never gonna happen
Latitude Rugged 7424. If need be it can also serve as a structural element, or measuring device. Drop it from the floor of choice, time and record thud, and continue working when you eventually get back to it. Don't worry, cleanup is easy. Without restarting, dunk it in gasoline - it's rated for that. Did I mention it takes a hot swap battery format?
Sounds like a great site laptop, There was a scammer messages everyone it was not my account. I have deleted the comments sorry for the issue
@@BrendanHastyNP. I'm DevOps with after hours automotive fabrication and only motorcycles. Docked by day, fully exposed on my panier inner up to twice a day, and sometimes an oily mess or dangling with a USB oscilloscope. Winter commutes and potholes killed machines. Instead of buying a car, I bought a better laptop. Even had an RX540 plus active cooling.
Hey Brendan I'm studying structural engineering but the code is so dense do I really have to understand it, what if I just model a building without knowing anything about the code?
Can you provide me with the name of a software for designing structures that is compatible with a MacBook Pro?
really good video, the M1 chip is truly a beast. i just noticed your etabs building doesnt have beams, do you turn them off?
I also would like to ask you for your opinion and the others as well on this: in the company i work (structural design company) the manager told us to set floor shells as membranes on etabs and design them in SAFE.
Thanks for the support, typically etabs is a lateral design tool so you dont need to accurately model the slabs only need the mass within the correct range. Programs such as safe/RamConcept are better design tools for slabs. BTW a scammer message everyone it wasn't me and I have deleted the comments.
Can you please make a video on how to install x86 program on m1 mac. As it is an arm based laptop and Parallels support arm windows and ETABS is x86 based program.
Does the Mx master 3 work good with the M1? Read in several places it does not work good and that it lags. Is that your case?
hi can u also use STAAD?
Hi brendan. Do you use a cracked civil engineering software? 😊 or maybe anyone here ever use a cracked software on windows via parallels?
does Paralles work better than running Bootcamp?
I found Paralles worked really well
Ive used parallels for decades!
I know this I completely off topic but I absolutely love how you and others break down complex engineering. Do you know if anyone in our “group” of engineers can explain how much heat it would take to make a railway Not salvageable? I was sparked when I saw the “bridge explosion” and I need to science nerd this concept in general terms. Not political stuff just the science of how this kind of thing would effect rail bridge construction. Thanks 😊
We can't view the font of your screen clearly.
What are your pc specs? would make the comparison a lot more useful
Hi there is an upcoming video comparing it to a PC, hope you enjoy it. BTW a scammer message everyone it wasn't me and I have deleted the comments.
Parallels must have gotten better. Other users I hvae seen had issues with ETABs
Is it possible to install and use cracked version in parallels v18?. Do u know how to do it? We have etabs license in the company i am asking only for trying them. Thnx in advance:)
I don't get the part about "running on virtual machine "
Apple doesn't natively run engineering software so you need a virtual machine running Windows to run them. BTW a scammer message everyone it wasn't me and I have deleted the comments.
Sir, if i take apple laptop for my engineering work, will i face the problem in structural engineering or not.? ( In terms of software working )
Sir please tell , i am looking for purchasing a new laptop.
With parrells VM I didn't have any issues, all the software worked perfectly from what ones I ran. Solidworks has some issues from what I heard, but there are work arounds
sir i am a civil engineer from india have 2 years of experience of highrise building as site engineer with average english knowledge.
Do I get a job in australia on the basis of an Indian bachelor degree
Impossible
Maybe say a bit more than „A PC“
Hi
May i know that does your firm buy the license for all of these software or you guyz just using the cracked version?
Generally the company will buy the license.
Is it possible to install and use cracked version in parallels v18?. Do u know how to do it? We have etabs license in the company i am asking only for trying them. Thnx in advance:)
@@mikaelakkus No idea buddy
Hello how can you install csc Orion and etabs on mac
Hi etabs yes haven't tried the other 2 tied but haven't had any issues installing any in would see of you can borrow a mac before choosing.
@@BrendanHasty how about prota structure??
@@BrendanHasty please can u help me out in trying installing prota structure and Orion of it works good on it
@@adebayoayomide2706 I used Parrells

you need a windows VM to install on a mac
I would buy a laptop from this three brands: Lenovo, HP or DELL. Those brands have workstation laptops , with a lot of power and are compared to standard laptops more stable and save. They cost a bit more, but its worth it. I have a Lenovo P53 and Im pretty much happy with it and would buy it again. :) Side note: Apple is for designers, Lenovo, HP, DELL are for engineers.
I have a Lenovo P53 (Intel UHD Graphics 630, Nvidia Quadro T200 (4GB), 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD).
I have a Dell for engineering, agree the Apple is a laptop seen more for designers but that is starting to change. Thanks for the support. BTW a scammer message everyone it wasn't me and I have deleted the comments.
