Looking for input on laptops for college students.. i would like to keep the price range around 400$ or below, im not looking for a mac or anything super fancy. The only requirements i have are webcam, light weight, and i would like it to be white in color but its not a must.
Let me know your thoughts and reviews about laptops..thanks :)

Macbook Pro 2012 or Macbook Air 2012?

I am a college student and have been waiting for an Apple Macbook for awhile and I guess these are the newest laptops, so can you help me choose?
- Size is not a big deal, just needs to fit nicely in backpack.
- Prices are similar for students
- I am not careless, but still a college student.

Macbook Pro 2012: ($1,099)
13-inch: 2.5 GHz
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
4GB 1600MHz memory (upgrade 8GB = $90)
500GB 5400-rpm hard drive1 (upgrade 128GB flash storage1 = $180)
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Built-in battery (7 hours)2

vs.

Answer
If you want more processing power, go with the Macbook Pro. If you want lighter weight, go with the Macbook Air. I am looking at making a similar decision. I am probably going to so with the Macbook Pro and I'll probably upgrade to an SSD later on when the prices drop. The Macbook Air is not upgradeable. I usually use my laptop at my desk at home and occasionally take it places. If I were carrying it a lot, I would probably so with the lighter Macbook Air.
