[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a rising 8th grader.  Her school, which started in 7th grade, required laptops and she got the MacBook.  It's not the Air, or the Pro, it's just called MacBook.  It's small and light--great for the backpack.  The screen is 11 inches which is just fine for their age.

However; I agree with a PP in that if the school doesn't require it, get a desktop.

The laptop--we don't allow it upstairs and before you get one, make a rule or you'll never be able to control it---she sits on the couch away from you and you can never see what's on the screen.  Apparently, ALL the kids do this.  It's so annoying.

If I had my way, they'd be back with paper and pencil.  Giving a kid a computer is like giving them a math textbook with a pile of comic books underneath, and saying, "do your math and don't look at the comics."[/quote]

The Macbook is a 12 inch screen, not 11 inch.  Personally I would not spend that kind of money on a laptop for school as it can get lost, stolen or broken.  An basic Air is fine.[/quote]
