<p>Guys, which laptop should I get??</p>

2

<p>13… 15 won’t be fun to carry to class</p>

<p>Depends on what you’re doing.</p>

<p>I suggest looking into an Air, actually. Better screen and possibly cheaper. And comes with a SSD out of the box.</p>

<p>13" Air > 15" Pro > 13" Pro. The 13" Pro screen is worse than the Air.</p>

4

<p>Just get a MacBook Air if you need Mac OSX.</p>

<p>The MacBook Pro 13.3" doesn’t feel like a real Mac computer( low resolution: 1280 x 800 )</p>

5

<p>I know a student who had the same question, including the Air, chose the Pro 13, and is very happy. The Air didn’t have enough hard drive space.</p>

6

<p>Depends on your usage. 13 is more portable, but for a cs major like myself, the screen is too small for having multiple windows open</p>

7

<p>Question for you CS majors: Is Unix favored over Windows, or vice versa, or is the issue neutral?</p>

8

<p>It’s not “favored.” It’s useful to have Linux, though.</p>

9

<p>I like the 13 inch as the 15 inch felt unwieldy. I also like the pro more than the air, but that’s just me.</p>

10

<p>Depends on your use:</p>

<p>Web browsing, document editing, music, movies -> Macbook Air
All of the above + video editing, photoshopping, programming -> Macbook Pro</p>

<p>Maybe get the new Macbook Pro Retina? Almost as thin as air with power with Pro and display that blows everything out of the water.</p>

<p>No college student needs that much power, lol. Though the display is nice.</p>
