While a Mac can technically run SolidWorks, in most cases CAD software is written solely for Windows-based machines. This means on a Mac the software will be running through a proxy instead of natively which could affect performance. This is in addition to the fact that you will still need a fully-licensed copy of Windows for Boot-Camp on the Mac if you wish to run a Windows-based CAD Suite.. . Unless you have a specific need for the Mac, I would suggest going with a PC.
