Dear SAS Community
I'm assisting my wife getting setup for her PHD writing, and want to get her the best choice of macbook laptop.
She prefer the macbook air design, and battery life for daily life. But It appears SAS Statistics are rather CPU demanding?
I have to admit I basically know nothing about SAS, so anybody with knowledge if:
- 13,3 inch Macbook Air, M1, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD is sufficient to get started working with health/economics statistics?
- Would a 13,3inch Macbook Pro, M2 CPU, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD be a better choice? And would it potentially suffice?
Thank you in bunches for replies 😊

SAS isn't supported natively on MAC OSs. You can run SAS inside a Windows emulator or in a virtual installation like SAS Analytics Pro - this may not be advisable unless you reasonably tech savvy or want to process large data volumes.
