best laptop for mba student 2011 image
Dina
im not in college yet, im a student, i do sooooo many activities its not even funny i have a hard time staying organized so i was thinking of getting a macbook that can keep me organized so i can do my homework on it (cuz im always doing homework at track meets or other afterschool activities and barely get any sleep trying to finish) :(
..anyways im a girl if that makes a difference..
i want to get either the Macbook Pro or the Macbook Air, i just dont know which one is better,, what do you think? something portable would be nice cuz im always doing school stuff on the go (in the car, at soccer games, while babysitting, etc) so im wondering which one would you suggest- Pro or Air? it needs to have good battery power and can stay on standby for long periods of time, and to me it doesnt really matter about how the Air is like 3lbs, isnt the Pro just as portable? i just want the one that has better quality and better features :) thx!
btw dont say get other laptops, this question is specifically for macbooks, cuz i need to be able to facetime others while im doing homework instead of just aim or facetiming on my ipod touch or something cuz that gets really annoying thx :)
Answer
It heavily depends on how much you're willing to spend and if you can do without certain features. For example, the 13" MBP has a DVD drive for watching movies, installing apps of CD's, etc.
MBA is very light, and easy to store in a bag. Only down side is that it doesn't have a DVD drive. You'll either have to connect it over network to another computer with a DVD drive if you want to install something, or buy an external DVD drive for it.
Having said that, I think that MBA would probably suit you best. It just depends on whether you want the 11" or 13" model. As for typing papers, I recommend you get a copy of Microsoft Office 2011 instead of iWork, because Office is a more widely used software package of the two (most computer users have Windows and Office) so there will be less compatibility issues (even though iWork is compatible with Office files).
