AAP IT Solutions suggests determining the need to run Final Cut Pro on a laptop and purchasing based on that need (students can also check with their advisor). If students purchase a Windows-based computer and need the use of Final Cut Pro, there is a 13-seat, high-end space with Mac Pros available for student use (Not during COVID-19). All but a few pieces of software will run on both (Final Cut Pro is Mac only but Adobe Premiere is cross-platform). However, for a lower price, a student can purchase a Windows-based computer with similar or more powerful specs. NOTE: The use of Mac computers in art-related professions is rooted in the culture. Due to this, AAP It Solutions recommends selecting at least the 16 GB version)
