What type of computer do I need for college?

<p>Hi! I'm stuck between the Macbook Air and the Macbook Pro! Which one is better for college? I've looked all over the internet and there are a lot of mixed opinions about it. I understand that a lot of parents are on this website, and I figured you guys would know which is better for college. I'm planning on being a political science major with a minor in criminal justice, and plan to go to law school, if that helps at all. Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Do you plan to take any quantitative courses (statistics, science, economics)? Do you expect to work with large volumes of data? If not, then the Mac Air would do. If yes, or even if maybe, then the 13" Mac Pro with 8GB of memory and “adequate” storage would be a better choice. If you’re unsure, and cost isn’t a major issue, get the Mac Pro.</p>
