Should you get a Mac or PC (Windows Machine) for Data Science? I polled my subscribers recently to find out what machine they were using and the results were surprising. For this I share my thoughts on why Windows is a more popular operating system, and why Macs also compete.

After two years of using a 13" macbook pro for devops and data engineering, I still don't undersand why some people love it considering the small screen size and poor support for split screen. In fact I have decided to switch over to a windows machine as my main workstation for these reasons. The WSL2 feature in windows is a main reason for the change too.

No idea why anybody would work on a 13" ever. You have to get yourself at least 14", and if you don't use external screens OBVIOUSLY get the 16". You spend such a huge part of your life staring at those pixels, might as well make it comfortable to work with. I cried a little nerd tear when they removed the 17" macbook pro from their line up a decade ago.

As a Mac user myself I ran into the problem of not be able to use Microsoft SQL server and Power Bi. Also Excel in my opinion is very limited on Mac. While I am not very fond of the Microsoft ecosystem these programs unfortunately makes your chance of a job as a Data Analyst significantly higher. So I had to switch to Windows. I have run some virtual machines but I hated the fact that is ran slower then my Mac Os. I was already looking into new PC's when I discovered that you actually can run windows on an external SSD drive. It does take some setup time to get it done, but now my Mac runs windows without any delay and I am so happy! I don't know why almost no one knows about this but it is really great and I highly recommend this option for Mac users who want to run windows.

Great video. Luke, you seem to be able to put yourself in a beginner's shoes and give just right advice. I'm in my mid 30s and I've just started to study Data Science and AI at Uni of Liverpool (online). It feels overwhelming and like it is 'too late', but it's the best and most interesting fit for a hopefully better future where I can finally work from home. I am looking for a suitable laptop. It will be Windows based because I have already so many things to learn, I don't have time to do "work-arounds" on MacOS. I just wonder if I really need GPU? Those laptops ale expensive, gaming laptops = ugly&bulky&heavy&overheating. I probably will use a cloud-based GPUs. I am not sure how does it look in practice. I am not there yet.
@LukeBarousse 2 жыл бұрын
So awesome to hear that this was able to help! And yes completely agree with you on your decision to go with Windows, I think you are making a great choice. As far as if you need a GPU it really depends on the curriculum at Liverpool on if they make you train locally on your computer. So i'm not sure. Personally, I would stick with your plan to train and use cloud-based GPUs. For one you won't have to worry about a big laptop and for two it will train you for your job where you'll be using remote machines.

That's the point, after 10 years of using windows I started to find it annoying... I tried a Mac computer that a friend just bought and half a year later I bought my first Mac. Just starting my Ph.D. degree. At first, I found it annoying and use the laboratory computer to make the graphics, and a few data analyses... but now, fifteen-year later, I don't like to use windows(*), I don't have any problems with Linux. So If there is any software for one application, I don't buy it and move to another that runs on macOS, also I could use Python or R to study the data analyses. (*) All my Apple computers have a lifespan of 6 to 7 years and are sold to another person.

I haven't watched the video yet but I assume the answer is "use whatever you are most comfortable with." It's been 20 years since there was any significant differences between the two - Macs are just as good for data and spreadsheets and Windows machines are just as good for video production and graphic arts, so it really just comes down to which environment you like better. The only time there is a real difference is if you need to use some specific software that is only made for one or the other and then you need to work around that.

The 2 biggest factors for Windows dominance: Corporate culture and software suport, and the corporate culture ensures that dev companies aways prioritize windows, so its a loop. And from the tools you used as an example, I'd say the only reason you'd use them is corporate culture. SQL Server isn't a big deal, so is power bi, but you can't choose if the company you work for decides for you. I'm not a data analyst though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Hello Luke, 1. What is the ideal choice between NVIDIA GeForce vs Quadro for data analysis and data science. 2. Is a laptop with full keyboard (with numeric keypad) better? These are usually 15"+ I am stuck between getting the Dell xps 13 or Dell Precision 7510
@LukeBarousse 2 жыл бұрын
1. I prefer NVIDIA due to the ability to use CUDA processing (but that's only a benefit ML) 2. And that's personal preference for the numeric keyboard. I've been working on a short keyboard (without numberic keypad) the past number of years.

@LukeBarousse 2 жыл бұрын
I haven't noticed this at all with running paralles on both my M1 macbook pro 13 inch or my M1 Max 14". Both computers rarely (if at all) ever have the fan cuts on when using parallels.
@JustAn0therSoul 2 жыл бұрын
I highly doubt you can overheat an m1 - they have such a low power consumption. I saw a video of someone rendering Blender on a Macbook Pro 16" and even after 1 hour of rendering the fan was almost not noticeable, for the video he actually had to bring the cam as close as possible to the laptop so that the viewer could hear it. Overheating is only a problem with Intel Macbooks. The Macbook Air will lower the cpu frequency when it runs too "warm" as it has no active fan but compared with the Macbook pro 13" (m1 with Fan) it doesnt really lose alot of Performance. I think it was less than 10% under extrem conditions.
