What is the best macbook for college?

I am going into computer science. Should i get the macbook 12 inch, 2016 macbook pro no touchbar or 2016 macbook pro with touchbar? I know that the macbook 12 inch isnt as fast but would it be good for simply college through four years and for computer science? I want a light laptop to carry becuz i have a bigger hp laptop for other thinggs. Would that be better or the pro?

Well I am not going into computer science but i do need to learn a lot of it since I’m gonna do research that requires running Linux. It looks like I am settiling with a MacBook Air, the pro is too much for me. There was a discussion recently on reddit about it:

Seriously though, don’t get the 12 inch, it’s REALLY slow. At that price point, just get a pro. The touchbar makes no difference, just look at the specs and prices and decide which from there. If you want to save a bit of money, the air should also be fine. Just not the 12 inch.

The MacBook Air is super reliable, my boyfriend has had one for I think 5 years now & it still runs like its brand new.
