How viable is a Macbook for this program?
Just wondering if it's okay to use Macbook for this program? Or would you strictly recommend windows?

You can use a macbook and use bootcamp to install windows on it
you can install a docker container to run linux
sft221 could be an issue because you need visual studio
This was my first semester, and there was no problem at all when I was using Macbook throughout the semester.. I'm pretty sure you can use almost any softwares on Mac nowadays, so I would say you won't run into any major problems by sticking to Mac.
as others said you can always install windows on mac or use school computer if any problems occur
I’d suggest holding off on buying the macbook.
Get a good laptop, my friend had a macbook and he ran into alot of trouble with the course.
like 40% of the student base use Macs. you'll be fine. Having Windows means you can configure your machine exactly like your professor has it
thats about it
you could complete this entire program using a Raspberry Pi 4
you just need to know enough to be able to run a VM
if you're a total beginner to tech stuff you might run into issues
