Mac vs Windows PC recommendation for grad school?

Hi, I'm an incoming MechE PhD, but I also plan on attempting to double master in CS and/or take lots of CS classes for my general hour requirements. I used a Macbook throughout undergrad and really liked it for CS stuff, and I was able to avoid the "engineering software is Windows-only" dilemma since my school only used Fusion 360 for all CAD and sim. Does Caltech's MechE curriculum require enough Windows-exclusive software to warrant buying a new laptop, or am I chill with a Mac? If I do need a Windows, does anyone have any recs? Thanks a bunch!!

Addition to "Alumnus-Endorsed" Swag

My daughter pointed me to this artist (who focuses on cats and rabbits and such) and I found this in the collection.

Now officially endorsing it as valid Swag as a certified Caltech Alumnus. Goes right next to my Alumnus-endorsed mug and Alumnus-endorsed drink of graduates. All of them sitting on my Alumnus-endorsed food of champions.

If you want swag that is Administration-endorsed [...boring...], see the Caltech store: https://caltechstore.caltech.edu. ;-)

New Techer profile: Bill Dally (PhD '86), Nvidia's chief scientist, on the ideas he picked up at Caltech

A few bits that felt very Caltech: he first ran into neural networks in a Carver Mead class, was introduced to the Cosmic Cube (Seitz and Fox), and credits Caltech with shifting him "from engineer to scientist." The line he carried out of here and still uses at Nvidia: "Don't do little things." https://www.alumni.caltech.edu/techer/stories/this-is-going-to-be-really-big-how-nvidias-bill-dally-shaped-the-ai-era/
