<p>My son will be a freshman at Midd and is going to purchase a new computer. He plans on majoring in science (probably chemistry). Does anyone have any advice on what type of computer would be best? He wants to get a Mac. Also, is it beneficial to purchase it through Middlebury? I appreciate any and all advice.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>My son was a science major at Midd and loved his MAC laptop. When he entered as a 1st yr., he bought the latest model through Apple using the education discount. You should compare this with what Middlebury’s price is. He felt there was ample support from computing services for his laptop if he had any problems. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Thanks. I appreaciate your help.</p>
