<p>I'm going to Northwestern, which has a BA in theatre, and I'm planning on concentrating in technical theatre and acting. What laptop would you recommend for that? I've been looking at the Macbook Pro with retina display (the cheapest one), but I'm not really sure what I'm going to need in terms of storage and RAM and all that. Does anybody have any recommendations?</p>
I’d call and ask someone in the department. Both of our kids are at Northwestern, and D (theatre senior) would buy the Macbook Pro if she had it to do over again as her current laptop has been too heavy to lug around to classes and stash in dressingrooms. I honestly think she’s used her iPad with a remote keyboard most often for notes in class recently.
Also, I think the campus bookstore has an Apple Store of some sort, so there’s some support right on campus.
But I’d call and ask in case more graphics capabilities are needed with a technical theatre emphasis.
Congratulations, and GO Cats!!
