if you are starting ... it can be done on i7 as well....


not every dev uses mac.

go for gaming series...legion and all...since they have better heat management ...


your code won't use even 30% of cpu power for i7

mac is recommended if you are doing VR stuff as well

you would find maximum compatible software sdk for both windows and mac

if you have space... you can go for custom desktop as well.... it will give best bang for bucks .... plus far superior experience to M3 pro at half the price.

I still use i5 4th generation running win 11 / ubuntu / alma with pycharm vscode....built in 2014-15.... msi board ... started with 4gb ram those days...then to 8...then 12...now 16 gb ... laptops won't last with this performance level and abuse for more than 3 years...max 6 years .that too .if you clean dust regularly
.... i clean cabinet almost everyone year ... thermal paste every 2 years ...ddr ram chips are dead cheap now. .... earlier used to use hdd now moved to ssd for each OS ..along with multi-boot in bootloader.


for intel for for ultra... or processor models ending with H .... they are built for heavy workloads

I would suggest not to take Mac as for the same price you can get much better laptops. And since you plan to use for Data Science and most probably dabble in training models etc, I would not prefer Mac book.

I am using an i5 8gen intel processor and didn't find any issues when I worked on few of the projects. Still your call.

Unless you're working on apple specific infrastructure like iOS or Mac apps, a Windows laptop is just fine. Everything else about Mac is just unworthy hype. Personally, I like the trackpad gestures on Mac as they're smoother and I don't see anything else to be better than Windows or Linux in functionality for the same level of hardware configuration.

In short, hype is not equal to real value.

...


if you need help ...share me you budget ...hard-core projects require compute power .... best done on PC ... not mac not windows laptops...


if not hard-core... it can be done on i5 as well.....


even gta 6 works on i5+rtx3060 .... incase you are thinking to go beyond that level in terms of computation analytics then only go for i7 ..........

don't buy slim laptops they have thermal throttling... even mac air faces ... the one with air vents ...

Six months ago I had the same question.
Since you are just transitioning into DS, you can easily go for windows. M3 pro at this point would be an overkill.
4060/4070 graphics, at least 16 gigs RAM (ideally 32) and at least 24 MB L3 cache should suffice.
Consider M3 pro only if you want the convenience of ease of carrying, as heavy duty windows machines are bulkier.

Gaming laptops r bulkier and I am sure U WON’T BE GETTING TIME TO PLAY GAMES.
