My wife is tenured Mechanical Engineering faculty at KU. Very few students in ME use Mac's, and this is at KU, which has a pretty substantial population of Mac users. What you should look into is the software they use in the department, and if they are using Solidworks, get a PC. Solidworks isn't available for the Mac. Besides, if a Mac is $400.00 more, it's kind of silly to go that route, as a good anti-virus & internet security package is a whole lot less than that.
Where are you going to school?
