so hey guys in the last four years of your college you name any macbook you
name any ipad you name any windows machine
or you know any surface book even i have personally used all of them thanks to
freelancer not just use them but you know use them to that
absolute degree so that i can tell whether that
particular machine is a performance beast or not so that's why in this video
i'll be telling you whether you should even buy a macbook or even an ipad
or which one to get for your college in 2020 so
let's get started
BUT First, Before that you even think that I am recommending you a 2 Lakh rupees laptop or $2800 or Rs. 1 Lakh iPad
that's absolutely not true because many journey my journey also started
from windows computer when my uncle uh gifted me a dell computer so this is
like a 25 000 rupees laptop in the us it used to cost around 500
back in 2015 but i came to college in 2016
so i'm also from middle class family just like you to me so my budget was only $500 so I started from here
laptops you start here but journey was little bit difficult i wanted to get
into android development from my first year itself
and it didn't go smooth many first of all the first thing that i noticed was
when i used to see my friends who are using macbook air
you know uh macbook pro their performance with android developer was
much faster in in you know hackathons they they were able to build the app
within few seconds but for this computer it used to take i'll
say two minutes at least or even up to 10 minutes for the first
build so it was difficult but only us Indians know a formula Called Jugaad (to be solution oriented)
and honestly only us indians know about this trick which changes the game which
is called jugaad and it is pretty famous worldwide
so through Jugaad (being Solution oriented) I installed ubuntu linux os on this computer and then android
development performance like became 4x as before and i was
able to get my first internship you know my hackathons went smooth every journey
even even like studying some machine learning you know
machine learning through. I used to train a lot of ML Data Sets and it used to take 2-3 nights
difficult so it used to take three to four nights for
some of the database but I got used to them and I used to run all
overnight and other than that uh you know i used to go to the library to use
their most powerful pcs, so through those graphic Cards I used to
run my data sets and it became smooth from there
but honestly it did start with 25 000 rupees so it clarifies
if your budget is low but the point is if your budget is low if your budget is
around 25 000 rupees then you can definitely make your college experience
top notch with the help of jugaad so uh honestly after this laptop i got
you know a better laptop from HONORS COLLEGE, our school has a program if your GPA is over 3.5
that if your gpa is above 3.5 you can get into honest college and this
says that i got it from georgia state university
performance boosted it was drastic difference so this has 1tb HDD
hdd so hard drive is and on the other hand 256 gb ssd so i will always prefer ssd because
the performance like you know jump from 5x or even 10x faster
boot up speed up laptop. Turning on the laptop take only few seconds now
I never had to shut it down except once in a month only because you know macbooks are known
press button once it boots up immediately similarly with the help of
ssd i was kind of getting the same level of
convenience and performance it used to boot up immediately and it was
crazy good experience so thank you so much georgia state university for giving
me this laptop and made my four years life super super
smooth so after that i wanted jump in the performance it had pretty
much everything i wanted it had android studio it has
a 8 gb ram pretty much everything went smooth but
i wanted little bit more juice little more performance so that's why
i got this macbook pro 2018 edition in january so we
have around one and a half years ago so many technical
more than more than you know two and a half years i have survived
with just windows so i could got to i actually got two internships with the
headphone windows so everything happened with the helper windows i've won
around five plus hackathons over overall ten competitions
just with the help of this laptop. Maybe 1 or 2 with the MacBook Pro. But the point is that MacBook
did not impact my you know my college experience it didn't improve my college
experience and just that my video editing
experience got significantly improved with the help of final cut pro on
macbook pro because everything became super fast
you know i went to mit and harvard within one day i could like edit five
videos so it was super super good experience in
terms of video editing and android development became faster
too because this may have you know unix-based os mac as us based
so everything became super smooth from here and then
you know i got like a 16-inch macbook from office so that's for
office only but the point is if your budget is low whether 25k or 30k I will link some in description
000 to 30 000 rupee laptop and i'll link a lot of them
in the description below
Let me ask Arpit for MBA
In MBA do you use MacBook or Windows?
I think you guys just work on Excel sheets and Microsoft Apps
You're right we do use a lot of Excel and Microsoft apps. A lot of students my class use iPad or Surface Book
50% iPad, 50% windows, I personally prefer Windows because
Because the shortcuts for Microsoft apps is better on Windows more convenient to use
In fact in MacBook there are no Func (F1,F2) keys, so really difficult to use shortcuts like F2 to edit
Yup F2 shortcut to edit a cell i hard
Arpit also proved now you know if you do not want to do you know iOS dev
if you do not want to you know want better performance in terms of android
Android development better performance you can get the same level through linux
definitely install unix or linux on your like windows machine and
get the same level of performance in android development
and apko premade everything you can get overall
in windows the only thing that you will not get in terms of programming is
convenience mujhy personally it took less than 45
minutes to install all the you know all the applications
pycharm xcode android studio uh vs code
atom all these applications were installed on this
macbook within 45 minutes or even less than that. I used to type git and use to get an option immediately to install git using terminal
immediately i have brew installed on it but the coffee tools are so the point is
as a programmer everything is much faster to install
on mac or even even a little bit more faster as compared to unix buildup
ten percent of areola but overall you can get pretty much everything
in your windows machine if you install ubuntu at or
any unix space os on your windows machine and
once again it will be in the description below now let's talk about ipads
so many javascript ipad 3 that my life has personally changed
and it's not just me saying even up near output soonly or with also told keep
more than 50 of the class in mba also have an ipad and museum show
you what's the difference between this 10 rupee notebook
versus one lakh rupee ipad pro below it is
like 70 000 in us by the way but the point is key will this ipad pro give you
rank 1 and j advance j mains or even 10 out of 10 gp in college or school no
that's absolutely not true because our cv topper collector everyone pretty much
used paper pen but the big reason to buy an ipad in
2020 is convenience because we are in the
virtual world right now apko professor you look at any professor any teacher
he or she will not ask you to go buy that book
but he or she is going to ask you hey there is the link
download this ebook and start working on it he's going to give you online
assignment now rather than you know going outside
printing an assignment or buying a printer you can just download the
assignment on the ipad itself and start working on it it's miles ahead
then a notebook and another big reason you're doing a four year undergrad or
two years so in chariot you're gonna take a lot of
notes and you will have piles of notebooks which you cannot save
so when i was moving out i had to throw a lot of my notebooks and it was painful
but now because i use the ipad in my final year
everything is saved i have icloud i have pretty much everything 10 on 10 saved
and i will never lose my notes i have taken a lot of
mb courses online and i have all those marketing notes these values
are embedded in me and i can refer all of my notes anytime on my ipad and it's
super super convenient and even as a software engineer i take
my notes every day in my scrum meeting joey meeting
everyday on ipad as well so before i recommend you all an ipad for college or
macbook i really want to tell you the first step
you should take as a student right now is get a cloud storage you can get 15 gb
free on google drive and once it gets full you may have to pay or you may have
to create another gmail account but personally
i pay around 10 for icloud and i get 2tb cloud storage because everything what i
do is on icloud or on cloud after the dropbox basically dropbox have
the same rate around 10 dollars per month
for 2 tb yearly storage or monthly storage whatever you whatever plans you
want to buy because like ads imagine let's say
you're working on a project this is machine it can crash any time
you can look at my macbook experience it had
it has died three to four times again it was icloud now
i would never have been able to put out aims and iit blocks cookie
jam when i was traveling from india to us i lost a lot of my data because
macbook last so the point is if you remember that
so these are machines these can crash anytime but if you use a cloud storage
everything will be saved on the cloud up kissy time after
any problem can happen and in those scenarios
you will never lose your data and as a student your data is the most
important thing or most important asset you will ever have so you have to keep
it safe so now let me quickly recommend you
some laptops then i'll recommend you some ipads so
as i already said after budget thirty thousand sixty thousand ninety thousand
one lakh or two lag whatever your budget is just go for at
least an ssd rather than a hard drive so ssd can like
you know boost up the performance four times
so that is the first thing and again 256 ssd that is also fine you can always buy
an external ssd for sure and number two important key point will
be that always go always maximize the number of cores dual
core support could hold it so in your budget maximize the course
and touch screen doesn't really matter so that's my conclusion this has touch
screen but i barely used it now let's talk
about ipad and oh wait i forgot if you really want to do android and ios
development together you want to run a lot of emulators
we're writing then macbook air is also sufficient because i personally use
you know the 2020 macbook air that will also do the job
so as a starting you know budget macbook you can definitely go for macbook air
and 8gb ram for windows like windows whole macbook oh it is definitely enough
in 2020 but only thing is a graphic emulators install kane or you want a
little bit more juice then it could power a little bit but
personally uh if you want that juice you can go for 13 inch macbook pro but still
i think macbook air gives you the you know 12 hour
battery and everything is all around so depending on your budget macbook air is
also fine now finally let's talk about ipads
though i have already reviewed the ipad 10.2 inch so when i had bought the
cheapest ipad or you can say ipad 10.2 inch
tub it was for only 30 000 rupees in india or you can say
it was for 250 dollars in us but you will say key
aby later cyber animal a new ipad air is going to be launched
in october so why not wait i personally think
i'm like it could take till december to even come in india
so okay you will see you are losing one semester
to wait for an ipad so that's why i'll say if you can get a second-hand ipad
somehow somewhere it can still last for two to three years
and it will get the job done so again i'll definitely recommend the cheapest
ipad you can buy i have reviewed it i'll link the review so wherever you want to
buy you can go for it and it will get the job done and it was a great
experience writing notes on that ipad as well so
now let me quickly give you two reasons why i use the ipad pro over the cheapest
ipad why one lakh rupee ipad over the 25 000
rupee ipad why 1000 ipad pro versus you know 250
uh ipad 10.2 inch or the cheapest ipad so there are two reasons number one
reason is keep performance which is a performance
code but in terms of note taking there's not much difference it's just
10 percent what a smooth feel that you know
there will be no difference up side by side in 10 minutes you will be able to
take the same amount of notes on the ipad pro
versus the cheapest ipad when erasing support everything is
almost the same so not much difference in terms of performance but you don't
thought of mozzarella thank gaming
so that's why i use the ipad pro but otherwise
budget come you can definitely start it with get started with twenty thousand to
twenty five thousand rupee ipad thirty thousand rupee you know laptop
thirty thousand members that you can get started
so within just the budget budget of fifty thousand rupees
you can start your college experience but once again one important tip
cloud storage use other important things
and you can download top box or google drive
notes or you know icloud notes enter platform or you know on your on a
device you have you can use it immediately whenever you want it
