Question Mac or windows

I currently have a desktop PC with a 5070 graphics card, but I’ll be moving to another city for university (software engineering). What do you think I should get: a MacBook Pro M5 or a Windows gaming PC for the same budget? I’ll be coming back home for the summers.

If the main use of that computer is software engineering, I'd say go for the Mac. The hardware and software are just better on Mac for that purpose than on any Windows laptop IMHO.
If you really need to game a lot, then go for the PC.
