<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the following questions.</p>
<p>Is a Monitor/Display necessary?
I have a 27" monitor, keyboard, and mouse for my Macbook Pro. I was wondering if anyone uses these in college, or if they just take up space. I don't really use it now and don't see that much point, unless other people found that a monitor is useful for typing papers and stuff. </p>
<p>Is a Macbook Air useful for notes?
I am into computing and have a highly customised Macbook Pro, but it is somewhat bulky and currently has about $5,000 worth of hardware/software in it. I don't really want to risk taking it around and dropping it, losing it, or having it stolen. I was thinking about buying a Macbook Air as they are relatively cheap (about $1,000) and lightweight. Do people really carry there laptops around and into class though? If it will just end up sitting in my room then I don't really need it.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
