Yes. But it is not recommended.

Big Data majors are not recommended to choose Apple's Mac book, textbooks, course experiments default use of the WIN system, the Mac system is not very compatible with some professional software used in big data, installation, or running will occur when a variety of unexpected problems. Even if you buy a Mac book, you may not be able to use it for a semester, you will not be able to stand it, and you have to reinstall the Win system. Big data majors, if you do not engage in neural networks, machine learning, the computer configuration requirements are not high. Daily programming, writing code, using SPSS to do data statistics, buy a 4,000, or 5,000 yuan Win system thin and light notebook will be enough to use. If you buy an Apple book, a well configured Mac with 16G or more RAM will cost you 8k or 10k or more. It's expensive and very uneconomical.
