Are you guys running Windows or MacOS on Macbook? At first thought, I wouldn't think MacOS would be compatible with various PLC software like logix 500 or 5000.
I'll admit I'm a bit of an Apple fanboy, so I'm probably biased, but with the exception of the 2016-2019 MacBook Pro's,
What are the deficiencies of the 2016-2019 MacBook Pros?
Apple's butterfly keyboards were highly controversial and have been called out as one of the company's worst design decisions due to their penchant for failure due to small particulates like crumbs or heat issues.
You can run VMWare and Parallels in unity mode, which makes it appear as if Windows is not there at all. You double click on a Windows file and it quietly launches window in the background (if it's not already running) and uses the Windows engine to launch the software in a normal-looking Mac window. That's how I've set up the macs for our non-engineering guys who don't need the same involvement with Windows as the engineers, but still need to run the occasional Windows app. If you set it up like that your daughter may not even realise she's running Windows!My daughter did switch to a Dell last year because of running AudoCAD in her classes and the mac version being different. She got sick of bootcamp switching and didn't want to have anything to do with VMs (but I'm sure she would have come to be OK with it after a while).
No, it can't. That could be one reason to switch to Fusion.
