As an ACCA student and future accountant, is it more advisable to buy a macbook or windows software laptop? Or is it even necessary to bring laptops to class?
General ACCADoes apple OS and keyboard hinder exam preparation significantly
3mo ago#1Sorry that I didn't see your question sooner. You should contact your college to ask whether you are expected to bring a laptop to class. If your tuition providers uses the tutor resources that support ACCA's Study Hub, I think it is likely that you would be expected to refer to the Study Hub content during class (and hence you need a computer).
Re Mac v Windows, I suggest Windows dominates in ACCA. As the CBE practice platform relies heavily on spreadsheet and word processing tools styled after Microsoft Office, I suggest Windows will be most useful to you.
Apologies for the late reply, and I did send this when very stuck between decisions, but saw the response after buying a windows laptop. Hm, we don't use the study hub in class, but now I know that for Performance Management especially, it's crucial to bring your laptop! Else I wouldn't have been able to follow along and learn how to answer questions using excel. Additionally the bonus of a numerical kepyad is especially helpful for ACCA, that should be advised and emphasised to students!
Thanks for your advice :)
