Yea Autodesk products are the industry standard and in particular Revit only runs on Windows (I run it under Parallels but boot camp is an option too).

For a student, why spend $3500-$4000 on a MacBook Pro when you can get a really good, top-of-the-lone Windows laptop for half that?

I love apple products but they really have become terribly overpriced and not that much better than the competition. They’re what Microsoft used to be at this point. I’d go with the pc and if he wants a MacBook Pro, say he can get it after graduating and nailing down a good job.
