[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do a MacBook Pro vs an Air. The Pro will get him through 4 years of college.[/quote] Definitely Macbook Pro for college, I have used both Macbook Pro and Macbook Air at work and definitely Macbook Pro handles number-crunching and large files much better. We bought DD a Macbook Pro for college due to this experience. Going strong after 3 years.[/quote] +1 MacBook Pro. I went to undergrad with a PowerBook (precursor to the Pro), grad school with a Pro, and have worked on a variety of Mac laptops since starting my career. The Air is underpowered and doesn’t handle the large files as well. It is also more delicate. It is fine if it sits on your desk and never goes in backpacks across campus, but that’s not practical for a college student. I broke 2 in 6 months traveling for work, so they gave me another Pro 2.5 years ago and no issues. [/quote]
