Hi Everyone,

I would like to know what PCB design software you are using in MacOS for a professional development. Could you give me some suggestions? Because Windows crashes a lot on my laptop and I'm looking for a more stable system. I always use Altium Designer.

Thanks for your help.

 

Best wishes,

Gerald

    Hi,

    Thanks for your replying, I think I need to get one new laptop. After I consider more, macbook is not a choice for embedded development.

    Thanks again, have a good day.

    Hello,

    We don't know for MacOS, as we're using Altium on Windows, and it sometimes crashes too (reboot / blue screen).

    At least, make sure you have enough memory in the system, 16GB min and a good GPU, that might help to reduce crashes.
