[quote=Anonymous]My spouse is a computer scientist and uses a MacBook Pro for periodic telework.  If you have a computer scientist at home, he made it into part Mac, part Linux machine.  For comparison, for much of the work he does it is faster and more powerful for some jobs than what he has access to at work, which is saying a lot as he has excellent resources at work. I telework as well and use his old MacBook Pro, which is now 7 years old and still going strong.  We've had one $200 repair during that time.  There is some other special sauce to what you order, having to do with memory and something else that affects power/speed (I apologize if I'm not using the correct terminology), and I think you have to decide on all of this at the time of purchase.  Of course, more memory and power/speed costs more, but can be really important depending on what you will use it for.  Especially the memory.

Agree with others that the MacBook Air seems like a great starting point for some situations, and is so light.  But depending on your college major or your uses, it may not meet your needs.  And light = more delicate, which is generally not a good thing on a college campus.  [/quote]
