Does Mac’s still suck for engineering students? (alien.top)

Literally the title. I’m starting mechanical engineering and know that historically Mac’s suck at engineering software, but does that still is true nowadays? Speaking mainly for Solidworks because i know there isn’t a version for macOS, and really don’t know if there’s an alternative for using it (e.g. parallels)

Although I'm in love with Macbooks, I wouldn't if I was you, some apps are available for Mac such as Photoshop , but most of engineering apps are not available and to running them you won't get the full performance from your laptop. Get Asus gaming models or Lenovo instead.
